Hollyn is such a sweet main character and even if she is a bit boring, I liked reading about her! Jasper, on the other hand, is just really unlikeable — he keeps complaining that noone's supporting his acting dreams (and I wouldn't either) and that everyone gives him shit for not standing on his own two feet in any way (they should) and honestly, Hollyn deserves better.
Their story was just a bit too mundane for my taste, nothing that really stood out, it sounds like a story that could happen to any of my friends and not in the interesting way.

I did have some issue with how Hollyn's anxiety was portrayed. The beginning of the book set it up as a big obstacle, but then there were times where how she seemed to just get over it was a little unrealistic. Overall though I think it's still really good. I felt her anxiety, and I liked that there were still times you had to see her really work for it. I think it could just bother some people.
The main character along with a main side character do have Tourette's. I can't speak on the representation.

Adults with anxiety, lots of improv, cute romance
Pretty good writing. Sometimes felt like the characters were a little too juvenile for their age, but overall I enjoyed it.
