I really love "he fell first" love stories - they are so CUTE - and I loved love loved reading about a protagonist who feels the stress and weight of money, caring for a sick parent, and providing for her siblings. The sister dynamic was wonderful.
This is very random, but I promise it makes sense. If you love The Lizzie McGuire movie, you should read this book.
Also, we love the bi rep!

It’s a big statement to make but… I think this might be my favourite book (if not joint favourite) from Ali Hazelwood yet. It had everything I love in a rom-com; 10/10 characters who are fleshed out and well developed, high and emotional stakes, slow burn but gallons of chemistry and so much more. This was a delight to read and I’m keeping my fingers crossed it gets a companion sequel as with Ali’s adult romances because I couldn’t get enough of this.
Moderate: Sexual harassment and Sexism
