I absolutely loved this book! I couldn't put it down. It was such a fun easy read!
Oh
my
this book. this book. this book. this book. this book. this book.
I anticipated this book so freaking much because I loved the concept. I anticipated it so much that when I got this ARC I didn't read it right away. I set it aside and read several other books. I was, in all honesty, afraid Kasie West couldn't create a book matching my expectations.
Let's just say my expectations got karate kicked so bad that they fled and became hermits. My expectations lost because this book was so much better than I had expected!
Now, the plot twists, (i.e. the identity of Lily's pen pal) I saw coming. But the romance was so sweet and good that I didn't mind.
Okay okay okay okay so let's talk about one of my favorite things about this book. The friendship. THE FREAKING FRIENDSHIP. Isabel and Lily are friendship goals forever and ever. Not because they do cute things, or they're never apart, or they have little traditions. But because of the selflessness of their relationship. I can't give you an example because spoilers, but oh my. Isabel and Lily had me tearing up. I simply couldn't handle the imperfect perfection of their relationship.
ALSO CAN WE JUST TALK ABOUT LILY'S SONGWRITING. Kasie West should be a songwriter. The lyrics that Lily has written are perfection. They are heartbreaking and beautiful and HONESTLY GIVE ME AN ALBUM OF HER MUSIC AND I SHALL DIE HAPPY.
I'm not kidding.
Do I look like I'm kidding?
no.
just no.
ALSO THE FAMILY ELEMENT. Duuuude. I'm a child of a large family and I was able to relate to Lily so much on that level. It isn't easy. But I also loved the positive representation of large families. Lily complained, yes, but it was obvious she really loved her family.
I also loved how this is centered a lot around music. I'm not a singer or songwriter or musician, but I really love music and I loved how this book showcased a passion for music.
SO. the verdict? Kasie West, as always is a genius. Her writing and characters and covers will never cease to draw me in and her stories will always satisfy me.

So yeah, I've read this book in one sitting which I certainly didn't expect!
I got this book in one of the OwlCrate boxes and haven't read it intuit now. It blew me away. I thought that it would be just another lame high school romance novel and I would have to push myself really hard to get through it.
The truth is it is kinda lame high school romance story though it's not that lame and you get absolutely consumed by it and you just have to read!
Perfect for reading slump as well!

I admit I had some doubts going into this book and I feel guilty for those dumb doubts and even more guilty because I really enjoyed this and from the very start!
Isabel and Lily's friendship was heartwarming and amusing. And I found their friendship relatable to me with some of my friends; Lily was also a very relatable character to me and I absolutely loved Isabel and her sparkling personality.
I was a little annoyed at Lily for how quick she was to get into fights and arguments with Cade and how adamant she was to keep up the notion that they hated each other and couldn't ever get along. I suspected that there was more to the story and Cade's behaviour and that if Lily wouldn't have been so stubborn she could have avoided a lot of issues. Even though Cade did deserve a bit of Lily's disdain but certainly not a lot of it.
I loved the built-up romance and all the little parts and subplots that made up this cute and special story. Despite it being a little predictable I still loved it. It was cute and romantic and the plot was so well-executed.

Cute read, I wish there was more to the ending. I felt as if the ending was a little rushed, I wanted to keep reading.
