Friends to Lovers

I don’t know how I loved the re-read of this even more but I did.  The emails were iconic and all the little things they talked about being mentioned later on, like the oreos for example.

This was just such a cute and funny read that I didn’t even know how comforting it was to read until years later re-reading it.  The characters were so detailed and loveable.  Simon’s humor was everything.

This book made me want to go to high school again (which I had never experienced before since I didn't even like it when I was in high school) and for the Spier family to adopt me please.
