It started off pretty cringe but the more I got into it, the funnier it got. I think we’ve all imagined what it would be like to meet our favourite character in real life and this is what happens in this book. This book makes some funny comments about certain tropes that we often think are really sweet but if they were to happen in real life they wouldn’t be so sweet. It also says a lot about finding the “perfect person” and how we often think it’s someone who agrees with everything we do but that’s not the case at all. Despite all these good elements to the story, I still struggled to look past the cringe elements. I hated some of the dialogue and plot and the fights between Mack and Ivy just seemed so childish. I guess that is to be expected with a YA. The ending wasn’t my favourite thing in the world even though I was happy that Ivy and Mack got together.
