The exact book I needed. Smart, fun, and generally just an incredibly enjoyable read. Reminded me of my favourite Meg Cabot romances, and is now officially going on my list of yearly re-reads, reserved only for my most favourite books.

3 stars. Cute, fun book. There’s a lot of OTT personalities, but still somewhat believable. I enjoyed the friends of the MC’s as much as (if not sometimes more than) the MC’s themselves.

I’d never re-read it though because the “little things” that bugged me would be magnified and the newness would be gone.

Super cute. I really liked that the book was more of a forming of a life long friend group rather than just two people falling in love. Bc honestly reading purely two people falling in love is boring. I’d rather have the whole “found family” than just two goobers deciding they’re obsessed. Big thing that kinda bothered me tho was that food was not shown in its best light. Like I love when I get hungry when someone’s cooking in a book or eating cuz it’s described really tasty. This book put me OFF of food. Like between the girls in Mins family starving themselves, Harry throwing up, all the calorie counting, and them eating the same fucking dish every chapter… I swear I was feeling a little barfy. Is okay though imma go eat cheese cake to console myself.

I keep going between 3.5/4 stars for this book. It was enjoyable and reminded me of early 2000 romcom movies. It was a little slow the first couple of chapters but once it got going I didn’t want to put it down.

When you’ve re-read a book more than three times, it’s about time to bump up that rating from four to five stars. One of my favorite Crusie works. This was definitely meant to have been made into an absolutely absurd rom-com film.
