☆ The Love Story I Didn't Know I Needed. But I Did ☆
I have watched the film before I have started the book and really enjoyed it and was thrilled to find out it was actually based on a book. The plot of the book was therefore no surprise to me but even so the novel was even more fun that the movie was. It is an absolute treat.
I was in love with our protagonists from the get go. The insight to their backstories and their thoughts and feelings that the book was able to provide was probably why I enjoyed the book more so than the movie.
The contemporary setting really worked in favour of the story as I've found it incredibly relatable, witty and entertaining. The characters were engaging throughout and I could not read the book fast enough.
Though it features some sensitive topics such as loss of parent, substance use, and outing, it is a genuine feel good romance novel.
