Amado
A pesar que me demoré mil años en leerlo, lo amo. Todo recae en mi. Fui yo quien no estaba preparada jsjdjsjsk este ha sido un año de fantasía. El romance contemporáneo y demás no son prioridad, por eso alargue tanto este libro

Het was leuker dan ik had gedacht, maar minder grappig dan ik had verwacht. Wel ontzettend hartverwarmend, zoet plot - maar de worstelingen van de personages waren… te serieus en de romcom is misschien niet de meest geschikte vertelvorm.
Wanneer een personage een stoornis heeft, is het lijntje tussen humor en dat-kan-je-niet-maken (want schadelijk door stereotypering) simpelweg dun. Humor kan lucht geven en ervoor zorgen dat een verhaal niet te zwaarmoedig wordt, maar als het niet helemaal goed wordt uitgevoerd, dan krijg je - ik weet hier even geen Nederlands woord voor - cringe.

Charlie en Dev verdienen het beste van de wereld en het was interessant hoe zij leerden van zichzelf te (laten) houden. Niet helemaal overtuigd waarom iemand als Charlie mee zou doen aan een reality show.

If you are a fan of Red, White, and Royal Blue and the popular show the Bachelor you will enjoy this book! 

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! I loved the neurodivergent and mental health representation. I appreciated how diverse the characters in this book were. This book had me giggling and kicking my feet! The one thing I did not enjoy was the amount of times vomit was mentioned- I don't care how cute the MCs are - no one looks good with vomit on their chin. I look forward to reading more from Alison Cochrun.
