I think many college students will find Riley deeply relatable as she struggles to keep up with schoolwork, have a social life, enjoy college, and take care of her mental health.

I absolutely loved this from the bottom of my heart. These characters are fantastic, your understanding of narrative is brilliant, and the way you focus on the character's personal journey throughout made that a shining beacon in this plot is superb.
