didn’t like it. i liked devin, in the kinda way i’ve always liked sweet, soft spoken characters.

read: love interests.

but i was even kinda tired of em by the end.

it hurts me to say it, but super cringy writing. i usually die by “i am cringe but i am free” but it was so much it made it so i didn’t even want to finish it. and the writing is just not good 😭 “he smiled,” “e raised an eyebrow,” “she rolled her eyes.” so much telling and so little showing. and it was a unique premise with what could have been an amazing plot twist if the writing didn’t make everything so damn predictable.

main character is INSUFFERABLE and he *technically* has character development but it’s not well done and doesn’t seem genuine. dude can’t make a responsible, thoughtful, or good-in-any-way decision to save his LIFE. i LOVE characters with flaws but it’s just as important to give your character some real good traits, at least by the end, as it is to give them some bad, unless the character’s incurable insufferability is whole point of the story (think: we need to talk about kevin), and this is just not one of those stories.

I read this in one sitting and it was beautiful. I not normally the type to read romance but this book was definetly an exception. I know it won't be everyone's cup of tea especially due to the miscommunication trope and a mc that many people find annoying but I found it really sweet and light hearted.

also drew is not it

I am so disappointed in this book! I really loved Emery Lee's other book, and was so excited to read Meet Cute Diary. I really couldn't get over the main character. He was so entitled, privileged, and spoiled. In terms of character growth, there is none. He was a huge hypocrite as well. The same issues he had with his brothers girlfriend he just overlooked in his own relationship. I also didn't like how he ended up going from

one relationship to another. I would have liked it more if he realized he needs to grow up and mature, and take time for himself.

It felt like Lee was going to have a plot point with Drew being behind

the push for the Diary to be more relationshipy, but that kinda just got dropped.

There's a lot more I didn't like, but I don't want to spend any more time thinking about this book.
I would NOT recommend this book. I would never guess in a million years that this is the same author who wrote Cafe Con Lychee, a book I loved.

For a good portion of the book I wasn’t too sure if I was enjoying it as I really did not like Noah. I had to keep reminding myself that he is a teenage boy still learning about life to get me through it! However this story is all about his growth and development as a person through his big life changes. As the changes started to become more obvious, and he started to grow as a person, I really started to connect with him and like him so much more.

In the end, I was crying happy tears and thoroughly enjoying it! Emery does an amazing job at writing the characters and their flaws. E has done some incredible world building for the characters and really made them real, raw, and flawed characters. This was definitely a good read, and I would recommend it.
