Entre 4,5 y 5 estrellas.

ME ENCANTO ESTE LIBRO. De lo más cliché pero amé cada segundo.
La relación entre Liz y We me fascinó, siento que es el trope de enemies-to friends- to lovers. Sumándole la relación falsa para que el crush de Liz se enamoré de ella.
Wes es uno de los protagonistas masculinos más lindosss, amo cómo está siempre ahí para Liz con pequeños detalles. También me encanta como a pesar de que se supone que son enemies, cuando empieza su relación nunca la deja sola y siempre está ahí para ayudarla, tipo en la fiesta cuando le vomitaron encima, en la cancha cuando casi le rompen la nariz, o en si cuando siempre le hablaba a Michael maravillas de ella para que este se enamorara de ella.
Amé que de las bromas poco a poco fueran creando la confianza para tener conversaciones que no tenían con nadie más y que pudieras ser ellos mismos sin vergüenza a nada.

Lo que no me gusto:
- Al inicio no me gustaba que Liz tuviera que cambiar casi que todo de ella para que a Michael le gustara. Entiendo totalmente las razones pero a veces hacían comentarios que me dejaban

I honestly really loved this book. It was so cute and I really enjoyed the writing and their story was pure and I just adore them. Liz could get on your nerves a bit because she was so oblivious in her own world but to be fair that was kind of the point. It did annoy me that she was mad at her best friend for being quick to judge but did the exact same thing but that’s just a personal character flaw. I did really appreciate how the author touched on grief and the different ways it can affect people and bring them together. I thought it was a perfect ending and am interested to see how the next book goes but like the idea of them breaking up since that feels so realistic in a way but also don’t want them to haha.

The best takeaway in my eyes was to stop setting up these expectations for life and the people you could meet and what you want because you could be closing yourself off from something real and worthwhile and unexpected. It’s easy to get lost in books and movies and such but there’s countless possibilities and movies/books still to be made of untold stories.

** upon further review, my level of obsession is bumping this up to 4.75. The knock off from a five is Liz making me “ugh” at times but I’d still consider it a favorite because no one’s perfect — and I will most definitely be reading a lot more of Lynn Painter’s writing!
