The ending was rushed but I enjoyed the rest. I liked that most characters were fleshed out and used for more than one chapter.

I enjoyed every second of this book. The dialogue was so funny and witty and kept me laughing. And the humor was beautifully balanced with the heavier/ more emotional moments. Also Luc is the most relatable and lovable asshole ever. 

The writing itself was so easy to read, and read a lot like an actual internal dialogue. Which was extremely refreshing and entertaining. 

All of the secondary characters were so unique and lovable, which is an impressive feat considering their very limited page-time. 

I don’t think there was anything I didn’t like about this book. 

I love how the ending circled back to the beginning of Luc and Oliver’s relationship. It was just so beautiful!
