Stuck With You was such a lovely read. It’s a sweet romance with two main characters who are obviously meant to be together - but the happily ever after wouldn’t be satisfying if they beelined to it, would it? So our girl Jade gets proposed to right from the beginning by the wrong guy and sticks to this douchebag like a Super Ninja Loyalty Warrior just to find out way, way, waaaaaaaaaay too slow that a man who proposes after two months of dating, without a ring, using a wrong middle name, and leaves to another state without any plans to come back, simply isn’t Mr. Right. But it’s fascinating to see how Jade stretches just because she’s that committed.
Who IS Mr. Right is River, a colorful guy, right there from the start and wooing her with all the glamour the eighties and nineties did not possess (but it’s nostalgic, so it’s definitly charming). And I’m happy the author included the nursing back to health trope to solidify these two were perfect for each other.
While I really, truly, honestly loved the parts where Jade and River interacted and enjoyed following their journey from friends to lovers, I was a little bit unconvinced about Jade’s hesitations. The author did not hold back in making her financé a horrible person. He was a worm and a snake and an annoying mosquito at the same time. If it wasn’t for him standing in Jade and River’s way, Jade should still have dumped him long ago. It’s not cool to see a character so willingly try to make it work with someone so undeserving. If you can get past that, you’ll find a really nice read with many lovely moments that will swoon you over!
3.5 stars!

The writing was okay but what bothered me the most about this book were both the main characters, Jade and River, but River more so. I started out liking Jade and her family but what angered me was the emotional cheating and the fact that I never really understood why she was with Conner??? Like since the early chapters she's always comparing him to River like girl WHY are you with Conner then??? What did you ever see in him??
And River. I have never seen a 'pick-me' male character so props to the author for creating one but oh my god I could not stand this guy. He was so pretentious and thought he was better than everyone and everything. And since chapter one the only reason I thought he liked Jade was because she was hot. That didn't change over time. Finally, I think any guy fictional or non-fictional that unironically uses bro-code deserves death. "Couple code trumps bro code" "It's like, cardinal bro code" SHUT UP!!!

Sweetest love story I’ve read in a long time ❤️
Very disjointed story that was just all over the place with too much going on. Weird dialogue that tried too hard to be quippy and quirky. Immature characters, MMC was a manic pixie dream boy who ate a "coronary burger" then spent the night throwing up and shitting while the FMC took care of him. Really, really strange. Oh, and the whole time she was engaged to someone who very obviously did not care about her.

It wasn't great dialogue to begin with, but manageable and I said I'd continue to see how it went. But by the time they get to the post burger apartment scene I wanted to barf with the amount of cringe these characters portrayed.
Wholesome and romantic. To be loved by someone like River loves Jade #goals.
Overall, it made my heart happy - very worth the read.
