I got so caught up in the story and each of the girls’ struggles that I did not put down this book until I reached the last page. Although it took a bit of time to get a full image of each girl and their stories (since the book interweaves all of their narratives to start off), each came from such different backgrounds and had their own distinct stories to tell that they did not come across as one dimensional (nor was it difficult to remember who was who). This show is honestly one of my favorites out there, and I love watching it with my friends! Speaking of friends, one of the main things I really loved about Most Likely was, of course, the friendship between the four girls (Ava, CJ, Jordan, and Martha). Most Likely automatically caught my attention when I first came across it because of its blurb and the fact that it is written by the creator of The Bold Type. I thought I would read maybe a few chapters or half of the book, but, then, I was suddenly devouring page after page. The same happened with Most Likely: the publisher very kindly sent me a copy to review, and I picked it up the day it came in the mail. You may remember that I mentioned in my mini review of The Bones Houses that I finished it in a couple of hours because I could not put it down. I guess there is something about NOVL books.

This is the story of four best friends who have one another’s backs through every new love, breakup, stumble, and success–proving that great friendships can help young women achieve anything…even a seat in the Oval Office. And don’t overlook Martha, who will have to overcome all the obstacles that stand in the way of her dreams. Is it Ava, the picture-perfect artist who’s secretly struggling to figure out where she belongs? Or could it be CJ, the one who’s got everything figured out…except how to fix her terrible SAT scores? Maybe it’s Jordan, the group’s resident journalist, who knows she’s ready for more than their small Ohio suburb can offer. The mystery, of course, is which girl gets the gig. One of these girls is destined to become the president of the United States. But there’s more than just college on the horizon. Now they’re in their senior year, facing their biggest fears about growing up and growing apart. Ava, CJ, Jordan, and Martha (listed in alphabetical order out of fairness) have been friends since kindergarten. From the creator of the hit TV series The Bold Type comes an empowering and heartfelt novel about a future female president’s senior year of high school.
