Cute story, one-dimensional characters that did not feel authentic at all. Nobody ever addresses how rebound-y it was for Cara to dump her fiancé at their wedding reception and then immediately fall head over heels for someone else. Lots of unhealthy relationships that magically heal themselves in time for the ending.

It was pretty cute; your basic queer romcom. I liked how explored Lizzie’s relationship with her mom and her financial struggles. My biggest issue with this book is the fact that I hated James. I thought he was a huge dick and a really bad friend. 

The couple was cute, although I do hate the U-haul trope. I did enjoy this book, but I feel like some slight changes could have improved it a lot. It’s a fun, quick read if you don’t want to think too hard though.

I found this cute, but cringey at the same time. Don't think I would ever recommend this audiobook.

I found Lizzie to be a bit unlikeable. It was hard to get behind any of the characters to be honest. I also didn't love that the author skipped over a lot of the time they spent together. It was hard to understand the love story without having seen any real interaction between them. It was a fairly easy read, but it wasn't anything special.
