Adorable romance about a girl who sets up her neighvour with her friend. Nothing goes wrong.
A tiny bit torn on this, because the writing is just so good! The characters are so funny and witty and feel vivid. I also appreciated the fun little side-plots that all wrap into one overall. The writing was so engaging and fun, I couldn't put it down! But at the same time, the main plot line was very tropey and a little rush. Overall, I will definitely try more by this author because I thoroughly enjoyed the writing
R- (non graphic scene, language, mention of abuse)

After a bad day, this book completely cheered me up. I laughed. I cried. I kicked my legs with glee. Phoebe and Ren had such wonderful chemistry that I simply couldn't get enough of their story together. I loved seeing Phoebe develop her friendships with Bel and Myrna (who I definitely want to be like when I'm older!) and how strong a relationship Phoebe had with her sister, Suzanne. It was an absolute joy to read.

I loved this and think it might be my favourite Lindsey Kelk book!
I loved the setting of LA, and it has made me desperate to go there on holiday!
I loved the relationship between the 2 sisters and would like a spin off for Phoebe’s sister please!
The romance as great & swoony and I loved the new friendships made.
This book really looked at loving yourself and coming of self, self confidence, friendships, taking risks and it felt like an ode to the past in some ways.
I’d also like a spin off for Samantha please!
I loved this book and need it adapted to a movie please!
