Absolute feel-good book! Josh & Hazel are so oblivious to their obvious feelings for each other that I'd be simply annoyed if it was anyone else — but it's Josh & Hazel (and I love them as much as they love each other <3) I wasn't the biggest fan of the pacing at the end of the book but other than that, I really enjoyed every part of it!

It kind of lost me in the last 50 pages, I don’t really like miscommunication tropes. But the first 250 were perfection.

1.0

This book totally struck out for me. Hazel sure was quirky, but she was also a bit of a pick-me-girl, which I found unappealing. There's also a really fine line between appreciating/celebrating vs. fetishizing a different culture, and Hazel flirted with that line throughout the book, so be forewarned. The timeline went way too fast to be believable—Hazel met Emily like nine months before the start of the book and they were already best friends, and then within two weeks of re-meeting Josh, he was her best friend? Plus the trope at the end was a big nope for me. The dual POV might have actually been the only good thing about the book because I found both Josh and Hazel annoying enough that I couldn't have handled a whole book from just one of their perspectives.

a 2000s or 2010s (hazel has a zooey deschanel charm about her idk) rom com in book form. the plot was far from perfect and i HATED the ending (it felt very rushed to me), but icl there were several moments that had me grinning, swinging my legs and playing with my hair.

my charles-melton-as-josh-im-in-the-movie-adaptation campaign begins now!
