“I don’t normally kiss before the first date. But you’re the exception to the rule.”
It’s so freaking cute that I’m literally smiling the whole time I was reading this. It’s such a quick read just to get into the mood but it left me wanting more. Christina Lauren can really make a great story even with just a hundred pages.
C and T has been email buddies for over a decade and it’s just so cute how they only email each other once a year - on Valentines Day. Although it’s pretty unrealistic for two teenagers to consistently email each other once a year, it was very believable when I was reading thru it. The emails are hilarious with a side of sadness especially during the pandemic and the death. They also talked about normal problems a Freshman in College would have. But their meet cute was just the cutest. Especially when Callum realized that it was Tessa in that closet?! I just died. The hot TA just instantly switched classes just so he can pursue her. That really is a romantic gesture where a girl would definitely swoon over.
Anyways, really recommend for a quick romance read!
