1.) Hannah is great and deserves so much better than Sam.
2.) I hate amatonormativity. The amount of messaging that conveyed that still being a virgin by a certain age is bad and freakish is quite frankly alarming. And it is never challenged AT ALL throughout the book. It’s only reinforced.
3.) Casper is the only legit character, why didn’t we get more of him?
4.) I appreciated the realistic sex scene. We need more of those.
5.) Also liked Hannah’s relationship with her grandma.
6.) If this is allo culture I hate it. I’ve literally never been more glad to have had a supportive queer friend group in high school with the ability to talk about things that weren’t boys or sex. I would have felt so out of place as an aro-spec ace person. Are straight allo friendships actually like this? No judgement, just genuinely curious. If so, I hope our culture has progressed enough to have those conversations be healthier. Because damn. Some of that stuff was really toxic.
7.) My hot take is that I kind of agree with Stella (even though she’s toxic overall)

I would definately buy this book!
You could really feel that the parts about Sam were written by a guy and the parts about Hannah by a woman. Loved the sneek peak into the boys-world and the way the girls are around each other is recognizable.
Already knew the story was gonna have an happy ending, but I did wonder WHEN. Sam and Hannah keep messing it up together.
Hannah and Sam are awesome characters. The other characters in the book fit really well in this story.
There is humor, romance and a fast paced way of writing, witty jokes and sex-humour.
I love this kind of book. Just enjoyed it a lot!

Wow this was a huge disappointed. It was basically about 17/18 year olds talking about losing their virginity and obsessing over it and boys in general.
It was honestly so stupid I had to speed read and I didn’t get interested until like70% of the book.
If you are looking for surface level, teenager stuff maybe you will like this ?

So the beginning was a bit boring and typical teenager-like which I rolled my eyes at. However, once Sam and Hannah met, it was a whole other book! I really loved the back and forth between Sam and Hannah and the awkward situations that kept them apart. Definitely for older teens with the content but worth the read.
3,5/5 Liefde voor alle HP opmerkingen! Soms vond ik het verhaal best awkward, maar al het humor maakte een hoop goed. Ik vond wel dat de verhaallijnen van een aantal personages voor mijn gevoel niet helemaal waren afgerond. Hoe gaat het verder met Stella, Grace, Pax en zijn neefje? Ik wil daar meer over lezen.
I am trying out a different audio book service and this was a risk free part of it. I laughed and laughed, and also really felt for the two protagonists. This seemed an extremely funny book to me, it made me guffaw again and again. Apparently this is exactly my kind of humor: very British and a little immature ;-)
I often find books that are recommended as laugh out loud funny only mildly so, and maybe this is a cultural thing? Not that I am British, but it IS closer to home than the States, for example. Humor is a matter of taste, and I have seen that other reviews for this seem less enthusiastic than mine. It does not matter, this is very clearly a four star book for me.
I also want to add that I like the honest look at expectations concerning relationships and sex, and how they contrast with reality. The two main characters sometimes seemed younger than 18 to me, but it was a long time ago that I was the same age, so I am not a good judge of that.
The dual narration was a huge part of the charm for me.

Yeah, I shouldn't have read this one, but I did anyway. I was hoping things would start turning around, but no.
Both of the main characters were annoying, Sam was really possessive and Hannah was really whiny . Stella was irritating, but It was also annoying how jealous hannah was of her . And I don’t understand why she lied to her at the end about pax . Also all of it was basically just about virginity . But it was really funny at times.

One night at a party, Hannah and Sam meet accidentally in a bathroom. They strike up a conversation but are quickly interrupted before they even learn each others names. As time goes on, they can't stop thinking about one another but believe they will never see each other again. Until they do... repeatedly... and its more than awkward.
This was super cute and fluffy, just what I needed at the time. It was a very fast read that had me giggling at the awkward encounters these characters went through. I really loved the alternating perspective between Sam and Hannah. I loved catching a glimpse into each of their minds and how each situation was interpreted differently by each character. Hannah annoyed me at times for never standing up for herself when it came to Stella, her bitchy best friend who thought she could walk all over everyone. Sam also got on my nerves as well because he was so naive about EVERYTHING. I did really love them together once it finally happened though. I thought they were super cute and I loved their easy banter. I think a lot of the drama that they faced could have been easily avoided if they had just communicated with each other. In my opinion, they definitely felt more like 16 year olds rather than 18 like they were supposed to be. Robin was definitely my favourite character, I thought he was hilarious and every scene he was in had me laughing. I really like how honest this book was about sex and loosing your virginity. There was no romanticizing about it, it was very real and how it USUALLY happens. I also loved how the relationship between Stella and Hannah was so toxic, I think it did a great job in portraying how dangerous this type of relationship can be.
