A great book with writing so good it makes you dislike the characters at a point. I think the ending was rushed and more went into the beginning of the story when I prefer the other way around.

“I’m not angry at her, I’m angry at myself that I let her treat me the way she did” - Anna Bell

Buddy read with @char_reads_
A very relevant chick lit read based around social media - Instagram in particular. The idea of faking a life on Instagram, only for it to take over your actual life is actually pretty scary. Probably a good read for a lot of us really. 💕
It was a pretty easy read, I wish there had been more social media post style sections just because I did find parts slow. I think because it was all about a fake relationship, I didn’t like the characters either which made it hard to pick up. 🐢
I liked it a lot more once Aiden entered the story line. His dates with Izzy were very cute and funny. It’s a shame we didn’t get more of that. I think I just wanted more mean full connections - but that’s the point of the story I guess! 👩🏽🤝👨🏻
The ending was pretty predictable but a nice ending is never a bad thing when it comes to a light read. I just personally thought she didn’t deserve it. Defo good for any social media fans! 🤳

I picked this book up on a whim looking for some lighthearted romance and this book really pulled through as something fantastic. Parts of it has me super on edge as I was so invested in the characters.

I really liked the pacing of this book. Set over one year, each month is introduced with a social media post, which i liked. Each month may only be a few chapters but it felt enough, i never wanted much more each month.
I loved the character of Aidan. And loved that Izzy was surrounded by family and close friends and colleagues she got on with well.
I read another review saying this book was like a netflix rom-com and I totally agree. There were a few scenes where i wished it was a film so i could fully see what was happening.
I didn't expect their to be a grief storyline in this book but it was introduced right at the beginning of the book. I think it was good that it showed Izzy's grief as a sibling, how her parents deal with theirs and Becca's, his long-term girlfriend and fiancé. Grief effects everyone differently and i am glad this was highlighted.
I liked that there was a big focus on the fact that what we see on social media isn't totally real. With the book focussing on a fake relationship and even little things like pretending her friends expensive shoes are hers 'for the gram'. So many people follow influencers with perfect and polished lives and think they are living the dream when in reality its the opposite.
I really like this quote from page 194: "I've spent the last year and a half becoming me again and its great, and I don't want to change who I am".
Overall, We Just Clicked was an enjoyable read and I would recommend it.
