Pretty average as far as romances go. You have to slog through the first 200 pages, but it gets pretty enjoyable after that. It's very wattpad, but not necessarily in a negative way, because of the whole concept of an average girl falling in love with a famous man (in this case an astronaut) and being skyrocketed into the public eye. But it was cute. I'd probably recommend it.

Okay this was really cute.
I’m a huge fan of Samantha’s other book “Much Ado About You”. 3/4ths of the book had me swooning but the last bit had me rolling my eyes.
Let’s just get through some of the few things I didn’t like:
One of things that really annoyed me was the parents. My goodness they were TOXIC and childish. Also, got some whiplash when it came to the characters talking about deaths in the family. My goodness. Finally, miscommunication and a lack of establishing boundaries took me out of the story. As someone who has learned it herself, you can’t get mad at a partner when you haven’t discussed certain things like IDK HANGING OUT WITH YOUR EX. ughhhhhhh.
NOW TIME FOR THE GOOD STUFF
This book is fluffy, charming and just enough angst.
Some pros, our main characters. Both of them were literal rays of sunshine shine, no wonder they clicked. There first meeting was utterly delightful. Hallie in particular has a lot on her plate and I’m kinda thankful she was able to stick up for herself, thought the novel. This was one of my most anticipated reads and I’m glad I picked it up.
