Song Association: I’m Only Me When I’m With You by Taylor Swift

Notable Quote: “You aren’t what I pictured,” I say. “You are so, so, so much better than what my cynical little brain could’ve ever come up with.”

Brief Summary: When Daphne’s fiancé leaves her for his childhood best friend, she’s forced to move in with her ex’s new fiancée’s ex.

The Praise: I loved this so, so, sooooo much. Daphne was so relatable and Miles was so sweet. The story itself was interesting and fun, and I loved the side characters. 

The Critique: I would’ve liked for Peter to get hit by a bus, but alas.

Final Thoughts: So sweet, funny, and emotional. Sliding in as a favorite of the year with only a little over a month left!
