This was so cute!!! Bree is a hilarious character, so even with her being ridiculous and making some choices I didn’t agree with, her decisions fit her flighty yet loyal character. You could just feel the love between these two characters. I liked the backdrop of the characters too, and while I appreciated the hardships they were facing, I wish there was a little bit more depth and gradual change in the character development throughout the book. I also am not a huge fan of friends-to-lovers where both characters are in love but too afraid to mess up their friendship to do anything about it 🙄 But overall this book was cheesy and cute and had a few twists at the end I wasn’t expecting that surprised me in a good way!

This book is such a cute, light hearted read. I would definitely recommend it as a pallet cleanser if you’re looking for something easy to read and happy. 

I absolutely loved Bree’s character, u thought she was so funny and goofy, and I loved having the dual perspective so we could see how much Nathan loved Bree for it.

It is definitely a slow burn romance which is why I gave it on 3.5 stars as we didn’t get to see much of them together. Again, I wasn’t a fan of the epilogue, I would’ve much preferred to see them maybe a decade in the future.

This was just okay. I wasn't wowed. Actually, I was kinda annoyed throughout the whole book. The first is a writing style choice which really bugged me: why on earth are you capitalizing random words? Why are you using multiple exclamation marks? Are we texting our friends? No! We're writing a book! Do better. The other that irked me: Bree. She spent half the book whining about how she couldn't ever have Nathan and how much it will hurt when she loses him. I wanted to slap her in the face and tell her to get a hold of herself and just communicate. But no, she had to go on whining. 

So yeah, I will not be reading this again. Everything was so dramatic and overdone.
