THIS BOOK!!! this book, which I read twice in a couple months, was one of my favorite book i've read this year. This book is pratically only character driven, but it was so well done. I loved every fucking character in this book exept for Aaron cause he was an asshole. Anastasia was both the sunshine and the grumpy in this book. She was so energetic at times but also so intensely grumpy with Nate, well at least in the beginning. Ryan and Stassie's relationship was also pretty cute until Nate joined the show lol. I would have shipped them together if  Nate wasn't a fucking God. Nate Nate Nate. I know he is a man written by a woman but god why did he have to be so perfect. A kind of fuck boy cinnamon roll hot hockey player with a heart of gold. How do you get a better man than this? Than there's their relationship building which was so cute and fun... and smutty as hell. The uber scene, like wtf. They challenged each other in such a fun way. The halloween costume...The head that started it all.. The kitchen scene (thanks to sasha for interrupting it)!! In addition to this beautiful relationship creation, there was also the building of a new friend group. JJ, Henry, Lola and Robbie were all fucking amazing. Henry was so fucking cute and sweet. I wish I had read a book about Lola and Robbie because they seem to have had such a great relationship start. I connected to almost everyone in this book, which is pretty rare. The diversity was also really nice to see. From JJ's ethnicity and sexuality, to Robbie's handicap, to Anastasia's therapy sessions, the representation was there. Concluding this long review, this book had my heart from the first chapter and it will stay one of my favorite book (+ author) of all time.
