I definitely recommend this book! Charlie and Bailey were adorable, the cat who's name I've forgotten was adorable, the fake dating was hilarious, need I go on? Just read it! Not to mention all the Swiftie easter eggs sprinkled through out...

“Karma was supposed to be a cat, dammit, not this.”
― Bailey lol


“We were both grinning, and for some reason, I felt an invisible string pulling me closer to her as she smiled up to me.”
― Charlie, at some point

supes cute (im editing it literally a minute after writing this)

allow me to explain:
i loved all the tropes and stuff and it was really adorable and i loved the characters but sometimes they would say stuff and i would remember it was a book. it really was like watching a romcom though, so i guess i just have to rate it on my unique lynn painter rating scale (patent pending)

was a little cringey but so are the romcoms it's meant to be reminiscent of. so that wasn't bad. however !! i did not like how much they cursed though bc it might just be my opinion but it was a ya book and i feel like dropping the f-bomb like five times per paragraph was just not my favorite thing ever

also when they texted they always said "i suppose"

but it was adorable and i loved it (might change my rating later)
