The Song: That's My Girl by Little Mix
The Tropes
✔️ friends-to-lovers
✔️ transformation
✔️ rom-com
The Characters
Savvy: Girl. I don't know that I have ever related to a character as much as I have you. You represent me in a book character in a way I haven't had in a long time. I think the last time I related this much to a character was Spoiler Alert. I felt a security through you I haven't felt in a long ass time either.
Spencer: Spencer, my love, we did not get near enough of you.
The Things I Loved
I loved the fact that Savvy didn't go through this huge transformation for Spencer to lover her. He liked her for who she was and loved her along the way. This is something that I don't see often and I truly love it.
The Things I Didn't Love
I feel like I expected more romance, but I am more than happy with the way it turned out. It's safe to say this is what I needed in the moment rather than what I wanted.
The Final Verdict
Do not go into this book expecting a romance novel. That is not what this is. It has aspects of romance to it, but this novel is about a woman’s journey to loving herself.
