This one is cute. It's bubblegum and rainbows (with some rain sprinkled in there too). There's spice but just a quick taste. It's romcom fluff. Which, sometimes, is exactly what you need.

But what I truly loved about this book was the pacing and structure. The use of then and now plus the article excerpts...it was the absolutely perfect way to tell this story. We weren't bogged down in unnecessary flashbacks and painful memories. And some of those little throwaway tidbits in the excerpts nestled their way beautifully into the story.

I think Sussman deserves major kudos for how she told this story - even moreso than just for the story she told! Need a fun, light, romcom read? Don't skip past this one!
