Josh and Hazel's Guide to Not Dating by Christina Lauren
3.0
This was… a mess.
The synopsis is what caught my eye, so I was then disappointed to learn that it’s not really a good summary/ description of the plot.
The characters were okay. They were a little two dimensional and Hazel was not quite as funny as she was supposed to be, but they were still entertaining.
The relationship between Josh and Hazel as well as basically all the other relationships just fell a little flat to me. There was just that spark missing that made it all believable. It was still okay, just nothing special. What really ruined it for me was the last 20% though.
I hate the surprise pregnancy trope, so I was very unhappy when Hazel realized she was pregnant. And when they made me believe that she miscarried her baby, the book was kinda ruined.
I didn’t have high expectations for this book but I still was a bit disappointed.
