absolutely HILARIOUS! I get through at least 4-5 books a week in the Romance Genre. (I'm an avid reader of all genres though). This one has set itself apart as one of my all time favs. Cute, Romantic and so funny. If you have a good sense of love and humor then you will not regret reading this one.

Minus 1 star for the absolutely relentless reference to “just being so so smol 🥺” every 2 pages, but enjoyed it otherwise

Aug 2021 reread/
Ultimate comfort book. When I’m sad and anger cleaning, just hand me this book and I’ll feel a bit better.

Jan 2021 reread/
Upon reread, i have come to the best realization of my life. JOSH IS ZUKO. CHANGE MY MIND YOU CAN’T. The book is so much better now.

Sept 2020/
Uhm this was steamier than your local spa and I ain’t mad about it.
So witty and fun. There were some issues for me though like how their relationship progressed (namely super quickly) or some of Josh’s weird ass primal behavior towards Lucy. I got some Edward vibes and i was not here for it.
Here’s a gem of a quote for you: ‘I’m sure he only fornicates with Amazons’. Cause he’s tall. Get it? That’s some literary gold right there.

Very sweet, fun, sassy, romantic, and steamy. I wish the female lead was a little less flighty in the second half of the book but loved his response to her. Could have had at least one more chapter.

ALL THE STARS DEAR GOD

this is a thought dump because I’m far too buzzed from sheer, ludicrous joy to even form a proper sentence but

the banter was top notch, like I’ve been cackling like a f*ing gremlin for the last three hours because of the banter and the humor. This is exactly how i want my heroines to talk—just ever bit slightly unhinged and completely out of pocket. I love sweet heroines, really, i do, but i love lucy so much because she isn’t little miss perfect. She’s weird. She’s an acquired taste. She’s kind of annoying in a very cute way.

And hate flirting is my favorite kind of flirting because being mean is the best way i know how to flirt. So bias there, maybe, but i can totally admit to pulling a quip or two out of my ass when i like someone.

Also, she’s small. We’re the same height. It’s comforting to know small is 5 foot and not 5”5, because i get genuinely appalled when they say the heroine’s short and she’s like, idk, 5”3. I’d kill for three more inches. I wear heels everyday because of it. We are finally represented, shortcake be damned.

Yeah, this is just a super well written trashy little romcom that i will undeniably end up rereading in a few months time. I now get why it was made into a movie—one I’ll obviously be watching. I love elevator scenes.

Banter is unparalleled. I love the chemistry. I just felt good, ya know? And light and happy. Sometimes that’s the only marker that matters when it comes to romance.

I have no notes. I just really love this BYE
