I didn’t particularly like this book. I almost DNFed a couple times to be quite honest. I made it through and it was entertaining but I probably won’t be recommending it. I understand that her being a walking trope was the point but it felt like it was reinforcing the stereotypes of romance readers even more. I found her to be exactly what she didn’t want to be portrayed as. She didn’t want to be too much (bc no one is ever too much, be yourself!) but she is the exception. I didn’t find it amusing or cute that she was hiding in bushes, stalking or naming her boyfriends on the internet. Also, didn’t really feel the connection between the leads. So I guess maybe this romance novel wasn’t the one for me.
