This book was ridiculously cute. It's been so long since I've so wholeheartedly loved a cast of characters. This book is cutesy, a bit immature at times, and quite predictable--but in the best way possible. There are some really great discussions about race, friendships, romance, creativity, and self-doubt, but the book still is lighthearted and sweet. Would definitely recommend if you want to read a joyful--with just the perfect dash of drama and confusion--book about romance and writing, complete with lovely characters and relatable moments.

I loved this book! I read it during a tough time in my life. Pure escapism. It had all the classic romance tropes that I’ve grown to enjoy. It’s a really wholesome read. I loved seeing Tessa evolve and the lessons she learned. I look forward to reading Bryant’s new book!

a solid entry in the ya romance genre. really shines for providing a u pair perspective. i like the character has flaws and they are not shied away from while also not being too harsh. i love how the story feel like it could be a very true story. very engaging writing
