5.0

This book was absolutely brilliant: an easy five stars. I loved how easy this was to read, as the chapters were fast-paced and gripping. The concept was funny, lighthearted and definitely kept Bella's story flowing. Watching Bella's character development from chaotically unlikeable to somewhat loveable by the end felt seamless and inevitable - I loved relating to her panic at her nightly mistakes and found myself laughing aloud at some of her biggest blunders! 

While normally in these type of stories I'd point out the neglect in terms of giving the male main a personality, I felt that Marty was padded out enough for me to like him from the start, and where he was lacking, the story made up for in eventful moments and funny banter. 

Ultimately, this was such a good read to have alongside my studies: a quick read that was genuinely entertaining and put a smile on my face.

Thanks to NetGalley and Little Brown for early access to this ARC!
