A cute and fun read, but ultimately forgettable & I didn’t love this one as much as I enjoyed The Brown Sisters trilogy by Talia Hibbert. As someone who also manages OCD, I thought Brad’s portrayal was well done  & I enjoyed Celine’s POV.

Only critique listening to the audiobook. Hard to differentiate what was said out loud vs. in those head

This was a bit like reading fanfic for Vivian and Jackson from Sex Education. I kept waiting for Maeve, Otis, Eric, and Amy to pop through. It is a solid YA grumpy/sunshine, frenemies to HEA, with OCD rep and someone getting started on healing their father wound. A nice gateway to the genre of modern, contemporary romance for the youths.

I picked this novel up because I love Talia Hibbert's other novels and was pleasantly surprised by how much I loved it even though I don't read much YA fiction anymore. I really liked the main and side characters and Graeme's family dynamic as well as Celine's relationships with her mother and sister.

I love Talia Hibbert, so I knew I would enjoy this. YA isn't always my jam, and I was a little less invested in the romance than I'd like to be, but overall I liked the themes and plot beats. Plus I just need light fluffy stuff rn.
