I loved this book! There were some kinda silly plot points and some that should have been tightened up, but I really liked the characters a lot and the overall story arc.

DNF at 62%— I kept telling myself that it wasn’t that bad. The banter between the 2 main characters was funny but the story kept getting more and more ridiculous. Felt like it was written by a 13 year old. I tried. I really did.

I enjoyed this one a lot more than the previous Lynn Painter book I read (Better Than the Movies)! She actually gave her characters physical descriptions in this one

This book was so cute!! I cried and laughed and I just loved the characters. I still think that The Do Over is my fav Lynn Painter book but this has easily taken second place. I do have to admit, there was a point where I was cursing out Charlie and very very anti them getting into an actual relationship. But I am so happy to say that my opinion was changed for the better!!
