idk.. I just couldn't get into it. I've never heard of this book or author and only downloaded it cuz I needed a short audiobook to listen to during my shift. The premise sounded interesting but I should've known better and reminded myself that I hate instant attraction. I'm not sure what it was exactly but I just wasn't enjoying it. I do hear the author's first book was amazing so maybe I'll check that out

Olivia needs more self awareness cuz how are you gonna be told time and time again from family and friends that you rush into relationships and love, but try to force your best friend with someone that they met for like 2 mins. Olivia is delusional lol. Yes Imani! Olivia is so selfish

i should have read the synopsis before picking up this book because if i had known the main characters were going to "fall in love" in 3 days i wouldn't have picked it up. plus, olivia is playing match making for her friend who CLEARLY doesn't want that and i HATE when characters do that.

I loved this story of discovery for both main characters. Olivia has to find her worth without a boy. It's clear having and being in a relationship is the main goal to her. To the point of affecting her other relationships. Toni has to make amends with the changes happening in her life. A good story all in all.

I absolutely love this story! Chock full of the ups and downs and miscommunications that you would expect in a teen romance, but through it all you root for them every step of the way. Our two protagonists are real, and messy, and human, but that only makes the victories even more satisfying!

I love Imani she deserves the world
