I love a good HEA! 

This was an adorable teen romance that hit all the right places. Moments where I was giggling with excitement and others where I wanted to grab Lizzy and Wes’ shoulders and shake some sense into them! 

The movies quoted and referenced throughout the book had me re-watching some of my favourite romcoms of the 90s.
