I read that a lot of people don’t like Penny for her personality, but I really like her for all of the same reasons. She’s hypercritical and hypocritical, selfish and protective, romantic but cynical—she judges others for their faults and isn’t very aware of her own. But that makes her very human to me.

So cute! I have really enjoyed all of Mary H.K. Choi’s books, she’s one of my favorite authors for sure. This was funny and relatable, I appreciated the mommy issues rep, and had interesting characters. I really enjoyed Penny as a main character, she was prickly and a bit cold at times, but I liked her and found her compelling. I just felt like I would’ve liked some more development into some of the story and Penny’s relationships with Sam, Jude, her mom, etc.

fun read, cute romance with nice supporting characters

but the ending was abrupt! 

and the sudden
sexual assault flashback
scene really caught me off guard and felt kind of... sudden? 


the first chapter was pretty weak and the inclusion of her first boyfriend felt like his only purpose was to create a chekov's gun moment with
penny's SA trauma



I feel like the concept is a 5, but the execution is a 4ish.
