I don’t even know how to start this review. First off this is my favourite book of Ali Hazelwood! I mean I love The Love Hypothesis, but I just related to Elsie more. I just related to her overthinking everything, trying to change herself to “make people like her”, and how she is a people pleaser. Jack is literally the most amazing book boyfriend I have ever read. He literally is so patient, kind, reassuring, and just loves Elsie with his whole heart. Like he could read Elsie so well. He knew when something was off right away, he also that he didn’t want to rush things, because it would make her want to run away. He was so patient with being in relationship and how she was scared to have someone truly get her. Jack just helped Elsie open up and be more her which is amazing. I feel like that isn’t written a lot. Literally I probably need someone like Jack, because I like to run away from feelings like Elsie. So, honestly this book gave me some hope, even if he his a fictional character, lol, that maybe I will my Jack. To wrap this up, I think this book will be on my mind for months now. Just the dynamic between the relationships, friendships formed, etc. Plus Elsie & Jack have my heart. Definitely in my top 2 reads of this year!!!! Thank you Ali Hazelwood for always delivering!!!
