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.

Even though I wasn’t too sure at first, I enjoyed reading this book so much. I ended up not being able to put it down! It was just what I needed - a fun, light-hearted and lovely story to put me in a good mood. And it did just that :)

i enjoyed this a lot more than i thought i would. in the beginning i thought hazels “quirky” trait might get on my nerves but it never seemed to and i genuinely enjoyed their friendship/relationship, as well as the background characters. the trope at the end surprised me and i thought i would hate it but it wasn’t the worst here. i wouldn’t have preferred it, but it worked alright with the story i think. overall pretty cute and super fast.

Well, this was absolutely delightful and lovely. I’m not usually enamoured with the “quirky girl” trope, but this toed the line well and I really enjoyed Hazel and her ‘Hazel-ness’. I also found this was one of the better friends-to-lovers tropes I’ve read. The relationship that develops between Josh & Hazel seems so genuine and their opposite personalities meshed into great chemistry. And the epilogue?? One of my favourites ♥️
