Oh mannnnn. This was too freaking sweet! The book was filled with lots of happiness, sunshine, and some deeper themes that really added to the overall experience. I loved it so much. ๐Ÿ’—๐Ÿ˜

Some points that NEED to be shared...

1: The bromance is BACK, baby!

2: Violet and Wes are adorableeeee

3: โ€œHow long have you liked him?โ€ convo

4: Wes quoting Shakespeare

5: A fellow Kdrama lover!!

6: โ€œDo I make you swoon?โ€ (Iโ€™M SWOONING)

7: The high-five

8: I have thoughts about this Jay guy...

9: Sheโ€™s awkward but HE gets awkward because of HERRRRRRR

10: Weโ€™re here for the caring brotherssss!

11: Wes and his notebook? I just canโ€™t even

12: โ€œCome help me with my hot glue gunโ€

13: When I tell you that I love Wes...

14: THEY ARE PERFECT FOR EACH OTHER

15: Chase needs to vanish lol

16: Chapter 12. I highlighted PARAGRAPHS

17: โ€œYeah. I do.โ€

18: THE โ€œNOT DATEโ€ DATE

19: Danggggg it, Wes. Now Iโ€™m mad at you

20: Okay, his concern for her is too precious. I canโ€™t stay mad now

21: Noooooo, everything is wrongggg

22: SHUT UP. GO FOR IT, WES

23: (I got distracted with reading, so I neglected my notes list. Sorry not sorry)

24: โ€œChase doesnโ€™t know you at all.โ€

25: Oh my goshhh, I knew this was going to happen and itโ€™s still killing me!

26: Now Iโ€™m saddddd

27: Ugh, this is the WORST

28: I love the girlsโ€™ friendship

29: Little boxes...

30: Ohhh HE DID NOT. Wes is the best


As far as content goes: Any language or suggestive content was very mild. Side character had cancer. Divorced/absent parents. Bullying (aftermath of past experiences), anxiety, fear, and stress were some elements that were present in the book. None of this was triggering for me, but could be for other readers.

The tutor deal was perfect. The mixed messages drove me crazy in the best way. Wes and Violet were beyond perfect for each other. I loved how the story was about taking changes and overcoming the past. They both had their struggles and I really enjoyed seeing their growth. ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿ˜Š

I can't wait for Olivia and Micah's story! It's a fake relationship romance, so I'm sure that I'll love it!!! ๐Ÿ’•
