Super fun romance - well written, with some good love scenes (yep, they get sexy) and endearing characters. As with all romances, you see the ending coming 100 miles away, but it makes you happy anyway.

the definition of style AND substance. i started the book thinking it was another romcom (WHICH I LOVE) and was blown away at the emotional topics discussed. it was raw and a real and still so funny and romantic. and above all it was relatable. i found myself in each character. i cried and laughed and squealed. !!!there’s smut!!!! the ending was just the tiniest bit rushed and there’s the occasional millennial humour but nothing you can’t look past, gus and january made all of it worth it. with quotes like “hemingway circle jerk fan fiction” and “every time she fell in love… joy seemed to overflow” and “when i watch you sleep i feel overwhelmed you exist” HOW COULD YOU NOT BE HEAD OVER HEELS IN LOVE W THE CHARACTERS. people say it’s enemies to lovers but if anything it’s more miscommunication and unrequited love diet enemies to lovers

Good book to get out of my reading slump. It was slow to start, but when it picked up I couldn’t put the book down. Great beginner romance, nothing too heavy but definitely spicy. It wasn’t anything revolutionary by any means but I liked it.

Average, didn’t really connect with the characters and some bits made me roll my eyes because they were so cliche and cringey
