Little lagged to get the story rolling, but hooked by the details in the end will be reading the next in the series.

For a free e-book, I wasn't expecting this to be anything but teenage fluff to fill my time between classes. For the most part I wasn't wrong. It started out slow and full of teenage angst and romance, but the second half of the book picked up. Charli, the main character, started behaving more like an adult and making (some) better decisions. The storyline became more interesting. In the end, I sort of liked it. I cared about these fictional teenagers far more than others in recent YA novels. (Edward, Bella, Katniss). It's not going on my favorites shelf, but I'll probably read the second book.

This book is surprisingly good. There were a couple of unexpected twists that I loved. I'm about to start Second Hearts and I'm hoping it'll be as good!

It is insta love but i really like the writing and is it just me or do all YA books make love or break ups seem world ending?

I am behind on my reviews for NetGalley and finally got around to reading this story. For someone who loves romance novels, I didn't love this one but, I can definitely see some of the girls at school connecting with Charli and how she falls in love with Adam. I think now that there are multiple books in the series, I can find students to read this one. The themes hit on what most teenagers deal with in HS - bullying, friendships, relationships, summer love. I wish I would have loved this one more than I did, as this is the type of book that I gravitate to in my summer reading pile.

The main female character was extremely annoying and unlikable. She does the thing where she keeps talking about how “wretched” she is and it’s like she skips school occasionally? That doesn’t make you a bad person so I’m so confused about the way she talks about herself. Also it’s love at first sight, no build up they just are instantly smitten? The male main character is 21 and the main female is 17 which doesn’t sound like that big of an age gap but it’s still super weird as the girl hasn’t even graduated highschool and her love interest already graduated a four year college. All the characters are extremely immature, lack communication skills, and are very flat.

Great Read
This book was sweet and beautiful. I cannot wait to see what happens in the next installment. Loved the ideas of fate and the universe deciding. Would recommend

If you can overlook the outrageous insta love it’s decent. Pretty good humor in the dialogue
