I do love fanfiction. 

I do love lgbtq+ themed books (and this one was on a 'must read 2024' list, so I though, of course!). 

That being said, as fun and quirky as this book was, it was just kind of middle of the road for me. I can't actually pinpoint why I didn't fall in love with it, just know that I didn't. It is a quick read/listen and again, very cute and quirky. Lighthearted is great!

Thank you Wednesday Books and NetGalley for the eARC of The Perfect Guy Doesn't Exist!  All opinions in this review are my own.

I really like the concept of The Perfect Guy Doesn't Exist but I like the story between Ivy and Mack more than Weston coming to life.  While his antics are funny at first, eventually it gets a little old when Ivy constantly has to worry about who will watch him.  Ivy and Mack healing their friendship made for the much better storyline.

DNF @ 26%.

The premise sounded fun but the execution...just gave me ick.

Setting: Pennsylvania 
Rep: bisexual protagonist; Black lesbian love interest 

I sailed through this in a morning - it's a quick, easy read but it didn't feel like a Sophie Gonzales book to me. The characters felt underdeveloped, as did the plot. It was fine, but nothing more, and it really lacked the heart of her other books.
