- Not huge on first person POVs, but I liked how this one was handled :)
- The book made me feel annoyed at the characters in the start. And that is a good thing! Because there is character development happening and I loved slowly warming up to them as I got to know them more
- I enjoyed the side characters, the banter between the MCs and the depiction of "young love" (I'm 26, I'm not THAT old, but certain things are just different haha)
- Don't expect spice, but expect heart-fluttery scenes!
- This story makes you care about more than just the main characters and I find that very lovely
- Comedy aspects were handled nicely and I could definitely see this filmed as a movie
4 stars from me :)
