I do not generally like romcoms, but reading this book, I realized that was largely because those romance books don’t focus enough on the comedy. This book was laugh out loud funny! I loved Center’s writing style. It made all the tropey things feel believable, or at the very least self-aware. I appreciated the deeper themes throughout this book, including eating disorders, cyber bullying, and survivor’s guilt, which definitely elevated this book to more than just your typical, forgettable romcom
