So cute! I have really enjoyed all of Mary H.K. Choi’s books, she’s one of my favorite authors for sure. This was funny and relatable, I appreciated the mommy issues rep, and had interesting characters. I really enjoyed Penny as a main character, she was prickly and a bit cold at times, but I liked her and found her compelling. I just felt like I would’ve liked some more development into some of the story and Penny’s relationships with Sam, Jude, her mom, etc.

4.5

fun read, cute romance with nice supporting characters

but the ending was abrupt! 

and the sudden

sexual assault flashback

scene really caught me off guard and felt kind of... sudden? 


the first chapter was pretty weak and the inclusion of her first boyfriend felt like his only purpose was to create a chekov's gun moment with

penny's SA trauma

I feel like the concept is a 5, but the execution is a 4ish.

I love an angst filled friends to lovers novel and this book perfectly scratched that itch. The main characters are two total weirdos who bond through texts after they realize neither one of them has anyone to rely on in an emergency situation. The only thing I didn’t like about this book is the ending. I wanted it to keep going a few more chapters.
