*I received an e-arc from Netgalley and the publisher in exchange for an honest review*
This is such a sweet story! After a (very public) embarrassing moment, Ellie defects to England to study abroad for a semester and put the incident behind her. She befriends a lovely group there - Sage, Dev and Huan, and on one of their first outings in Northampton meets Will, the titular hot British boyfriend.
Over the course of the semester, as Ellie gets to know herself, Will and her friends better, she realizes maybe this whirlwind romance isn't as it seems.
I loved the character development that Ellie experiences over these few months, it's incredible relatable as high school students seek to define themselves by those around them, and struggle with their sense of self. A heartwarming read with good role models.

This was like reading a really fun, cliché, cheesy teen movie and I had a blast. This was such a comforting book to read, because you go in with certain expectations and all of them are met and played out in the ways that you expect. A great read if your in the mood for a ya romance.

This was a meh read for me.
The main character felt incredibly immature/juvenile in how boy obsessed she was. All of her decisions to blow off her friends for the "perfect British boyfriend" who didn't treat her well at all was annoying.

I found myself Roger Murtaugh-ing much of this book and the main character's actions. But I really dug her friends!
