a 2000s or 2010s (hazel has a zooey deschanel charm about her idk) rom com in book form. the plot was far from perfect and i HATED the ending (it felt very rushed to me), but icl there were several moments that had me grinning, swinging my legs and playing with my hair.

my charles-melton-as-josh-im-in-the-movie-adaptation campaign begins now!

i enjoyed this a lot more than i thought i would. in the beginning i thought hazels “quirky” trait might get on my nerves but it never seemed to and i genuinely enjoyed their friendship/relationship, as well as the background characters. the trope at the end surprised me and i thought i would hate it but it wasn’t the worst here. i wouldn’t have preferred it, but it worked alright with the story i think. overall pretty cute and super fast.

Well, this was absolutely delightful and lovely. I’m not usually enamoured with the “quirky girl” trope, but this toed the line well and I really enjoyed Hazel and her ‘Hazel-ness’. I also found this was one of the better friends-to-lovers tropes I’ve read. The relationship that develops between Josh & Hazel seems so genuine and their opposite personalities meshed into great chemistry. And the epilogue?? One of my favourites ♥️

devoured this in a day! i love christina lauren and will read anything they publish. wasn’t the most life changing book, but was a super cute & lighthearted read and i loved it sm. hazel is who i aspire to be and i loved her hippie-like nature she’s adorable. josh and her banter and friendship/relationship was so fun and cute to read. also, liked emily as a side character. also extra points for inclusivity and diversity, loved seeing bits of korean culture incorporated :)
