DNF at like 23%..?

I’m SO mad I didn’t love this one immediately and I’ll probably try it again…I’ve been on a real rom com kick recently (although when am I not, honestly) and this book sounds like everything I’d like…but I’m just not really feeling it. I’ll try it again at some point though.

STILL ON WANT TO READ BUT GOODREADS WONT LET ME KEEP THE REVIEW AND PUT IT ON WANT TO READ SO YEAH. *i didn’t mean to scream that, sorry but I can’t be bothered to go back and change it right now*

DNF. I had a friend who returned a book for being broken. It was in the second person. I just can't.

This book was sweet. Easy enough to read and you didn’t have to think too much whilst doing so. I enjoyed it. Definitely enjoyed the second half a lot more. I felt like the first half dragged on and I was sat wondering what was even the point but I found myself wanting to read the rest. Glad I read this little one! It was fun 🤗

This was a super fun, light read and I became so invested I stayed up late and read it all in one go. It's definitely a fan-girly, crazy-over-the-top teen drama kind of story, but I could tell that when I picked it up. It was entertaining, had me laughing out loud a fair bit, and the main characters were endearing and overall pretty likeable.
A few characters were pretty shallow and only mentioned when they were convenient to the plot- I thought Jack was going to be more involved in the plot, but I loved Reuben so it didn't really bother me. There was enough drama and lines being crossed and secrets (literally everyone was into someone else) being hidden as it was with the characters who were focused on.
I liked the changing perspective to see characters from each other's eyes.
Definitely aided by Reuben calling Tilly 'Maguire' all the time, I couldn't help but think of Lizzie McGuire the whole time I was reading this book. It has the same awkward, clumsy-but-endearing normal girl out of her element vibes, and I was pretty here for it to be honest.
Reuben was a great romantic lead for this story, I adored him. The way he dealt with Tilly's anxiety, no questions asked, and looked up how to handle it so he wouldn't say the wrong thing was adorable. And everything he did in this book was for other people.
On that note he was one of those leads who was a bit too perfect, his only 'flaw' was lying/keeping something from Tilly, which was really just him selflessly protecting Belle. There was a bit of mention of his past behaviour as a bit of a player/bad boy vibes, but it was hard to connect that with his character in the story because he was just so nice and supportive and wary of his own fame.
Overall, this is a cute, fluffy, crazy-unrealistic romantic comedy, which I definitely recomend if that's what you're looking for in a book.

Loved the concept of this book but I felt as if it wasn’t pulled off right and felt like an empty pointless read, the characters had nothing that made me relate to them or feel any emotion towards them unfortunately
