Well…… I started this book 4 ish months before I finished it so salt to say that it took me a longgggg time to get in to it. (I usually finish a book in 3-7 days) I just thought that the book dragged on a bit. I think I say that because I don’t really relate to the character that much. I don’t think this was my book cuz I usually like more adult romance but I will be recommending it.

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.

Ok, it was cute but Wes pissed me off

thinking Liz was still pinning after Michael. Also gave me the ick when he was smoking cigars with Liz, like gave her a potential cancer just for fun ffs. Y'ALL ARE 16/17

The chemistry was there, the kiss was cute and the book made tear up with the 3rd act conflict.
I will read The Do-Over but I hope Lynn did not pull the same shit again
