The characters were lovable. Yes. Kinda. But also kinda not. Even though I like the characters, they were described really flat and stereotypical.
However, I have to admit, that the love story was cute. They had some very romantic, funny and adorable time together (those chats ;)). Yet, the story line seemed a little like instant love…?
Moreover, I wanted to bring up the speed of this book. It was a quick read, no questions asked. Yet, it seemed to fast and racing…? I really enjoyed the little illustrations between the really short chapters, yet, I would have wished for some more details. The relationship of Maddy and Olly may need some more page time to evolve into more.
All in all, I liked this book but I did not love it. I expected more. Still, you should read this book if you are looking for a quick, fun and uncomplicated read.
< read the following spoiler alert >
Maddys mum is an interesting person. I know, she is devastated and all from the death of her husband and son, but I still cannot understand her. I guess no one can unless they experience similar situations.
Oh, and another thing that just occurred to me: the book title never gets mentioned in the book. I am crazy after that shit and this really disappointed me.

The book did feel kinda rushed through but it’s a beautiful story and I loved Olly and Maddys relationship even tho it was instant and fast paced!
I doesn’t love the characters because I don’t feel very connected to them, I feel like it should have been more detailed character description's! But other than that I liked it!
And also, the twist at the end?! Was definitely not expecting that!
