This book was a quick read. I loved the nod to When Harry Met Sally, one of my favorite rom-coms from the 80s/90s.  “Men and women can’t be friends.” However, I had a hard time with Charlie for a long time. I just thought he was a jerk to Bailey. Of course over the course of the book we learn more about why he acts the way he does and we start to understand him. As this happened I started to like him. Overall it was a good YA book. My daughter (14) also enjoyed it but she still likes Better Than the Movies more.

I just have to rate this for what it is - a cute YA! I enjoyed this book and it made me giddy! I wish Charlie’s chapters would have been longer. I loved Better Than the Movies and I feel like Bailey & Charlie didn’t have that level of chemistry.
