This book was most definitely enjoyable. I genuinely couldn’t put it down and I am now writing this at 1:30am lol. It’s a fast lighthearted read and was just a good time. Technically, this book is not very good. It’s not bad but America can be very “not like other girls” and the writing certainly isn’t anything special. But, oh my god, it is so entertaining. It was cringey and funny and frustrating. Definitely something I would have gotten more out of if I read it when I was a bit younger but Maxon still got me giggling and shit so it’s fine 🤪 mostly what I got out of this is that friends to lovers is just the superior trope.
