Interesting concept, uninteresting execution. Once I found myself skimming paragraphs, and rolling my eyes at some of the things she was saying (plus, once I go to the book reviews in the middle of a book, it’s so over), felt like I should just save us both the trouble and DNF it. I really liked Jake for what it’s worth, and if the spoilers were to be believed: booooo, wtf Daphne??

This was hard to put down! It’s the first book I’ve read in a while that I found myself staying up later than I should to read or squeezing in a chapter in brief moments of availability. Refreshing to be into a read like that again.

I will say, the story was somewhat predictable and after finishing the book I felt like the depth/meaning I thought it was really gearing up towards fell a little flat. However, still super cute, and it provoked deeper reflection on the impact one’s mindset can have on life/relationships during challenges. I also appreciated that it wasn’t just a romance that focused on the main character’s relationships, but rather it also emphasized the importance of having a strong sense of self and a positive relationship with oneself first. I appreciated it a lot!
