Wes Bennett, where were you when I was 17yo?! 

Endearingly cute, with characters’ development and life lessons typical of a YA romcom.

I absolutely adored Wes from the beginning. The last 15-20% or so got me really emotional, the writing really made me feel everything along Liz. 

Minus one star for the slow start and the friendship between the FMC and her BFF, which seemed quite fragile on both ends (but that’s on me, my childhood best friends knows all my deepest, darkest secrets, for real).

4 stars!
