really, this book did so much right. i loved the (side) characters and their relationship with our main characters, and the ways in which they brought color to the book and illuminated the main characters’ best attributes and flaws.

the story built up our main characters with great delicacy and care. the book gave us so much slow buildup - and it worked.

and then came the mid-to-end part where everything was suddenly fast-paced. that conflict just hadn’t received the same careful buildup as the rest of the narrative. and it could really have been so much better if it had.

It was not a bad book, but I found myself not really feeling like picking it back up. I guess it is just slow and felt a little repetitive; but the notes were so cute.

I wasn’t the hugest fan of her friends, especially Gerty, but I’m glad they helped her get out of the situation.

I don’t think I would reread this book, and I’m not sure I would recommend it. I did not enjoy it that much; but, again, it wasn’t a bad book. It just wasn’t my favorite.

One of my favorites so far this year. I loved this audio book and could not put it down. It was such a witty, heartwarming story. I throughly enjoyed the two POVS, getting to know the characters in their own way and seeing their relationship blossom from post it notes left around the house. I also loved the underlying darkness both characters had, and how they dealt with their trauma. It was refreshing read a cute romantic comedy and it feeling realistic. I also really enjoyed the authors writing style and I will be checking her other books!!
