rapide à lire, je l’ai lu parce qu’il était passé sur tiktok il y a quelques années et que je voulais le retirer de ma liste. Beaucoup (beaucoup) de moments sont problématiques, des mots sont mal choisis, il y a des fautes.. mais je dirais que ça m’a changé les idées et j’ai passé un bon moment (par pitié retirez 80% des scènes de cul, c’est inutile). 2,5⭐️ pour l’effort et parce qu’on était en 2015 (d’où les leggings qu’elle porte ??)

ok to be totally up front, i read this book bc bryce harper mentioned it in a gq interview and the more i thought about it the more i had to know what that was about. and now that i've read it i have no idea what to do with any of this information.

anyway i haven't read a straight college romance before and this is probably the last time i do that

I love this book so much. 
The characters were fun to read about, even though I didn't love all of them equally the whole time. The banter between the two MCs was so fun to read.
The story itself was pretty good. As with most books, there were some problematic parts but it did not subtract too much from the reading experience as a whole.
10/10 would recommend.

I was surprised at the depth of emotion found in this book.   I enjoyed the humor that was sprinkled throughout the book.
Hannah is an awesome protagonist. She's very independent and a strong survivor of rape and the aftermath of standing up for herself. Garret also has had personal issues in his past that round out his character.  The subconscious falling for one another was interesting and realistic.  The antics of the surrounding friends.  And the all-around world-building makes this one of the best books I have read this year.
