very cliche, which isn’t necessarily bad, but in this case i wasn’t a big fan. modern day references, hard to read dialogue because of pure cringe and a story that wasn’t all that interesting. twas alright but i’m not sure i’ll read it again.

This is now my third read and I still love this book so much. I think what really makes it special to me is Ollie. I love how he behaves, how he is written and how he talks; especially his "emo" aesthetic makes him just pretty relatable to me, I think. 

This book is a fast, mostly light-hearted read and yet it still touches on darker topics, but in a way that I can really appreciate.

Also, the prequel-story of how they met is just so unbelievably cute!

Good book. Pretty light reading definitely for the younger YA audience. I did enjoy it though.

4.75/5 ⭐️
that scene at the basketball game will now live rent free. a whole hillary duff cinderella story moment.
and the representation in sophie gonzales’ books!! i love her as an author.

“it’ll get easier. that’s the beautiful thing about the universe. it puts you through trials, but it never gives you anything you can’t handle. we grow from these things.”
