This book caught my eye for no reason other than it sounded like a cute romance that was once a meme. I remember Alex from Target, and I laughed when I heard this was inspired by that.

It was an interesting story. I listened to this on audiobook, and while the male narrator was not the best, the female kept me interested.
This is the kind of story that will get dated very quickly, and the main characters were infuriating.
"I never realized how beautiful she was, and now I just want to kiss her."
"Oh, he kissed me but did he MEAN it?"
Paraphrasing here, but that's basically how both protagonists' thought processes went.

Where am I going with this?
It was cute, but in all honesty, it wasn't something I would have sat and read through. I most likely would have put it down after the third fry joke.
