They used a condom! I’m drunk and grinning like a loon and super happy because they used a condom.

3.7 stars I enjoyed this romantic twisted knot of a tale. The women had strong independent roles and were intelligent. I've had enough of the poor dumb women clichés'. It was filled with quick snarky lines and tender sweet moments. Yes there was a'bad' buy and although he wasn't stupid he was an idiot and very believable idiot.
Now about the story, I don't really need to tell you anything about it. It's a contemporary romance, there is a cat, a handsome man, a woman,one witch of a woman, the evil man, some friends, two crazy nut-o families and some really good Italian food. If you're looking for fun, light romantic comedy with a HEA this is a good book for you.

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.
