Unfortunately, this book was not for me, but I'm rating it slightly higher than I would otherwise because the references to all my favorite rom-coms was such catnip for me. That and the authentic portrayal of grief were the real bright spots of this book. On the other hand, I felt the characterizations were flat, with no real evidence for traits that were claimed but never shown. For example, nearing the end of the book, Liz tells Joss that she didn't tell her the truth because Joss is "judgmental," despite no examples of this in the prior 80% of the book. Bothersome. The plot and particular plot points were also eerily similar to The Duff. I've only seen the movie adaptation, not read the book, but I was distracted the whole way through by similarities that I didn't feel comfortable just ascribing to the genre as a whole ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This book is honestly such a fun one!
Liz is very relatable, at least to me and Wes Bennett!!

Enemies to lovers - it's our trope, Buxbaum
Wes is perfect.
But otherwise, I read this in about 2 days during the summer and it just felt like such a girly pop book.. does make any sense? Also the cover is so PrEttYyy!! Definitely recommend this for a fun romance :D

Overall a good book. It wasn't to dark but had some emotional topics. Also had a good enemies to lovers trope. I will say some of the things that the characters did were too cheesy for me. But not to bad. A little bit of spice, depending on your spice preference. I prefer minimal spice and it was a little to much for me.

Well…… I started this book 4 ish months before I finished it so salt to say that it took me a longgggg time to get in to it. (I usually finish a book in 3-7 days) I just thought that the book dragged on a bit. I think I say that because I don’t really relate to the character that much. I don’t think this was my book cuz I usually like more adult romance but I will be recommending it.
