i give this a 4.75 and i was so so close to a 5 but they didn’t fucking show the world championships match between her and nolan and i wanted to slit my eyes out because of that. ESPECIALLY BC WE MISSED HIS REACTION OF HER WINNING (we barely got a glimpse in the epilogue). but i love nolan with my whole heart and i don’t say this lightly but he is one of my new favorite book boyfriends (gasp i know) but for a YA this was so so so so good

This was charming and funny and a little wacky - exactly what I've come to expect from an Ali Hazelwood book.
