Thanks, Netgalley for the Arc
This was an entertaining book to read. It is silly, cute, and wholesome. I found myself relating to Ivy and her coping through life with writing and trying to express herself in a way she can’t always outside of text. The way Sophie Gonzales developed Ivy through the book and made you care so much about her was great. I also found the pacing to be lovely and kept me reading the book all in one go. If you’ve enjoyed any of Sophie Gonzales’ books you’ll love this one too.

I landed on this (YA) book straight from a bunch of Adult ones and it was certainly a bit of a mental adjustment because this book is very YA (not derogatory). The protagonist is emotionally a bit less mature than your average 16-year-old (part of the character arc), which makes it also feel like a bit of an adjustment.
If you are familiar with/enjoy fanfic and romance writing tropes, you will likely get some good laughs out of this. It's very much rom-com style, what-if all the tropes one by one to teach the protagonist a lesson about accidental wish fulfilment, etc. but the maturity (or lack thereof) of the main character makes it a bit dicey for me.
Overall, enjoyable and fun but reads very much like the top range of middle school with the main characters rather than modern 16 year olds.

I found this a really easy, enjoyable read. Watching the MC grow was nice and I found the characters likeable. The storyline made me laugh and Weston was funny and was an excellent character.

This was a wild ride! The characters were all completely unhinged, which was amazing. I quite enjoyed the focus on people with vastly different interests and personalities loving each other, showing how much work that can take. Intriguing plot as well, with some scenes I at times felt like I was reading a horror novel trapped in a romcom xD

I quite enjoyed the premise of the book. A character from fanfic that comes to life?! It sounded so interesting!
I couldn’t put this book down and found myself feeling different types of emotions whilst reading it.
This does contemporary enemies to lovers well!
