Ann Liang does it again. How does she write the most perfect characters. She has a gift or something. These books don’t even read like YAs. I thoroughly was involved the entire 2 hours I was reading this. Julius Gong is something else. He punched a guy for her! Hello? Like, I love that we could tell he had liked her for a while based on the things he did for her before they were β€˜friendly’. Sadie and Julius were so funny and I really wish we got a book for Abigail because I really liked her as a character. The amount of quotes I wrote down for this book was astronomical. Very excited to read the little novella that comes with this. Such a good book.

I've never been a big fan of academic rivals to lovers because I feel like they stay the same but occasionally kiss. 

I won't lie. The romance felt...like it was out of left field. I knew it was coming and I still felt like it didn't feel right. I wonder if it's because book was a shorter read. Had it been longer maybe it would have had more romantic development.

I did really enjoy Sadie's family situation and how she is starting to learn it isn't her fault. But this book did feel just a little rushed. A good quick read and something to cleanse the pallete from high fantasy or romantasy books. 

β€œFor ten years I thought I was preparing to destroy you, when really I was preparing to love you.”

oh my god… this was a perfect academic rivals romance

Okay, so like, "I Hope This Doesn't Find You" was, like, the absolute CUTEST book EVER. Seriously, I'm still crying happy tears. 

The MMC? Forget about it! He's the definition of boyfriend goals. I mean, his personality? chef's kiss Perfection. I would totally marry him in a heartbeat. We'd have matching outfits and everything. Matching everything!

The plot was so captivating. I was literally on the edge of my seat the entire time. I didn't want it to end! The writing style was so easy to read, it was like the author was talking directly to me. I felt every emotion the characters felt, and I'm still not over it.

I'm already planning my reread. This book is going straight to my 'favorites' shelf. Five stars, no cap! If you haven't read it yet, what are you waiting for?! Go get it NOW!
