this is the only book i’ve ever read with the miscommunication trope that didn’t make me want to throw it at a wall.
the main character is somehow both unlikeable and completely lovable and one of the best narrators ever.

I didn't like this at all at first. I thought the voice (either the writing style or the audiobook narrator) sounded like an evil cartoon villain with a deep down buried heart of gold. but it totally grew on me and there was some clever writing that made me smile a bunch of times.
i fear i AM wren. there were moments where i was like DUDE HOW CAN YOU NOT PUT TWO AND TWO TOGETHER and then remembered that ive done the exact same thing, on even more obvious situations sooooo i cant be the one to talk.

This is just, like, stupidly adorable for 99% of the book, and the other 1% is heart-wrenching in a really good way, and I loved every bit of it so much more than I expected. This is a trope I've loved since I was a kid watching You've Got Mail, and it just never gets old. I can't say Amanda Dewitt added much of a new spin on it - she didn't - but she didn't need to. Wren and Leo slowly circling each other on their way to that final crash is everything a rom-com lover like me could hope for. And there were some quality laugh out loud moments along the way, because Wren has a hell of a personality.
I think my only quibble is that we don't really get much of a feel for the side characters, even Wren's best friend. Partly this is because the POV is very locked on Wren's first person perspective. But I think a little more page time could have been given to them, just a smidge.
Overall though, this was an easy, quick read, insanely adorable, a ton of fun, and exactly what my heart (torn to mutilated threads after my last read) needed today. <3
