THIS HAD ME SQUEALING AND KICKING MY FEET!
Bailey and Charlie meet on a plane flight where they immediately decide they get on each other’s nerves - polar opposites yet connected over their parents’ divorce.
Three years later, they are both in training for the same job at Planet Funnn where the funniest friendship and text messages occur.
This might be one of the funniest rom-coms I have read. Bailey is an uptight rules follower while Charlie is cynical and charming. Charlie is stellar at getting Bailey involved in his hijinks.
Yet, not only is it light and cute and amusing, it also covers deeper topics, delving into changing family lives and how we can be affected by our parents and their lives. Wanting your own happiness and comfort and security as well as wishing for theirs too even when this may diverge.
I think this is one of those books that worked so well for me as I digested it through audiobook. I think otherwise reading it might have been too cringy for me with the dialogue and teen angst. However, the narrator did a phenomenal job and I throughly enjoyed myself.
Get ready for Taylor Swift references, bookstagram shoutouts, and a cute kitten called Puffball.
Mr Nothing and Glasses have my heart!
