liz is one of the few fmc‘s in a romance book that, even though being naive, i actually liked. might be because i could relate to her in several aspects, and not just in general feelings or experiences that she had but simply in who she was. 
though i could not relate to her romcom obsession very much and it could’ve easily turned annoying, luckily it didn’t.
i’m so glad the whole makeover thing was „taken back“ because i could not have lived with knowing that this girl lost her curls AND her phenomenal style to a guy that told her she looks prettier with straight hair.
though the story was cliché at points, also predictable and annoying because of liz being oblivious, all of that was to be expected because — surprise, this is a romance book.
