Okay I am so sorry but I HATED Edie. Absolutely hated. Pretty much everyone else I absolutely loved but I just could not get behind Edie. Which sucks considering, ya know, she’s the MC.

It also felt so weird (to me, at least) to call this a romance novel when the main romance is not actually a romance at all, but basically just Edie trying to force something that’s clearly not working? And then I felt totally cheated because I barely got to see ANY of the *~real~* romance, but rather it was shoved in to the last few pages and we were given like a super quick montage-style thing. So unsatisfying.

Anyway Rae/Max novel WHEN?

This book will go down as a forever favorite for me as I love books that are realistic about life and love. I read Head Over Heels earlier this year, and didn't love it, so this was a redemption book for Hannah Orenstein. It kind of reminded me of a Jasmine Guillory novel, I loveeee those. It was light, upbeat, romantic, sentimental, and empowering. It reminded me that it is okay to think you have everything figured out and for life to take you down a different path anyway. It reminded me that it is okay to be selfish & to trust the decisions you make for yourself. It was a wonderful story and I can't recommend it enough!
