Not only was there an obscene amount of pop culture references (here’s a game, take a shot everytime, you won’t even be alive after), the characters are unlovable, cliche, and their issues not relatable, stupid, and lead to literally no where. The book was incredibly frustrating to get through and I constantly found myself rolling my eyes. Moments that were obviously supposed to be emotional and hard hitting generally were not, leading to eye rolls. This book reaches. A lot. Not worth a read.

Loved the storyline and enjoyed the epilogue more than expected. Quick, light-hearted fun read in between other genres.

I liked this book. Nothing special, just a nice romance book.
I liked Arthur more than Ben though, Ben was a little superficious about Arthurs appearance (height) for example.
I don't know what to think of the ending
