Only When It's Love by Olivia Spring

4.0

★★★★

This was suchhh a breath of fresh air. Obviously, the thought of following a self-help book for dating advice seems a little meh, but once you follow along with Alex to read it, it actually makes a ton of sense!!!

I will admit, Luke had me fooled when we first met him,

Spoiler

but even from the start he was a bunch of red flags that I forced myself to look past.

And then when Miles was introduced, I didn't know who to root for. Clearly, I just had to keep reading and would soon find out

Spoiler

what a POS Luke was

This book was either gonna be the reason why I stay single forever or have just a slither of hope left for the male species. Olivia did not come to play when writing about these icky, DISGUSTING men.

Spoiler

I could not be happier for Alex. SHE AND MILES GOT HER HAPPILY EVER AFTER AND THEY BOTH DESERVE IT SO MUCH!!!

I took off one star just because I wasn't particularly fond of the way the dialogue was formatted. Also, for a book whose entire concept revolves around abstaining and waiting six months for sex, when the sex finally did happen it was very anticlimactic and underwhelming.

Spoiler

I wanted it to be sooo much more but maybe the author did that intentionally. I suppose when two people are madly in love and vow not to have sex for six months, I guess that just makes the pent up sexual frustration 100x worse, so I get it. I can look past it because the book was veryy good. I hope to read the second book in the series soon!
