It's Kind of a Cheesy Love Story by Lauren Morrill
4.0
I need a piece of pizza asap after finishing this lololol
This was exactly what the title said it would be: kind of a cheesy love story. And boy was it cute! It was a story about a girl falling for a boy, understanding that friendships grow and change, and that she is so much more than the box she’s been put into.
I was cracking up at the beginning with the story of Beck’s birth in the bathroom at Hot N Crusty, and I didn’t stop laughing until I finished the book! There were soooo many hilarious one-liners.
This was definitely more focused on friendships than romance. I loved seeing Beck’s preconceived notions about Julianne, Frank, Greg, Jason, Mac, Tamsin and Cora, Hot N Crusty, and even herself fall apart as she spent more time with them. I lived for the geek fest that Beck and the guys had whenever they talked about Apex Galaxy, their shared favorite sci fi show... I am definitely that way with Doctor Who, so I felt like part of their little gang, haha. I loved seeing Julianne open up, and I loved riding along with Beck while she learned that Julianne wasn’t the weirdo that everyone says she is.
And don’t even get me started on Tristan.... swoon!!! A brooding hottie who wears weird thrifted shirts, drives a vw van, and loves woodworking and the Beatles... WHERE DO I FIND A TRISTAN!?! Gah! I love how protective Tristan was of his friends, and I love how he was never afraid to call Beck out on her crap.
Overall this was super cute! All of the new friendships were unique and special, and they didn’t feel forced. I felt like an employee at Hot N Crusty playing the table game right along with the gang!!! And I now have a greater appreciation for hometown pizza places... and I could really use a slice of pizza right now!
huge thanks to macmillan and netgalley for the arc in exchange for this honest review! :)
