This was so freaking cute. Just what I needed 🥹
It’s a perfect young adult pick, I laughed A LOT, and as a daughter of divorced parents my heart sank for Bailey 🥲
Charlie is such a cute, funny and sarcastic guy, his humor is EVERYTHING. I absolutely would’ve fallen for him too 😂
Bailey is an over thinker and that’s pretty much just what was needed to get me to sympathize with her in every sense 😅
But them together? They just fit! It wasn’t forced and it was really cute. The banter was there from the very first page, there’s this invisible string pulling them together (yup, TS reference here). And the friendship dynamic between the two was so good!
What I don’t love like EVER is third act breakups, so unnecessary 😠it takes all the joy!
But overall this was a fun read, and I enjoyed it a lot!
