Again, but Better by Christine Riccio My Rating: 5/5 Stars Alright, you already know by my rating that I love love LOVED this book! But I'll admit, I did have my doubts to start. Christine Riccio is a popular YouTuber: a BookTuber to be exact, and the group's "I read tons of books, therefore, I must be a great writer" mindset has caused a few controversies in the past, to say the least. Yet, in my opinion, Christine broke the mold. Not only did her novel take place in my favorite city, London, but it was also about a socially awkward college student studying abroad, ready to reinvent herself. As a high school senior, I learned a lot from this novel: about relationships, about career opportunities, about creating a life for yourself.  Again but Better follows the story of Shane, a young girl tired of following her overbearing parent's career path and instead escapes to a new city, a new country, to become a writer. That isn't the only thing on her mind...
