Really cute romance. I don’t think it was anything special, but it definitely was lovely. I mean the romance was cute and all, characters are lovebale a s realistic. Plot lines are good. At first I was going to give this a 3, but the last couple chapters raised it by 0.75 points, so pretty good. I would almost give it a 4, but I started to get bored of the "me and you" lovely jargon. I definitely skipped a lot of "oh I love him. I am the one for him…". The plot twist in the end was kinda nice. Overall, it was a good book, if you are into romance comedy books. If you like Love Hypothesis, you’ll probably like this a lot. I definitely think this should have a little more representation, but that’s ok. The description of Spain was nice and the little Spanish phrases throughout the text made me Love Lina. The book was beautifully written, and greatly illustrated. The only problems I have with it were:
Lina thirsting over Aaron in the soccer game and the way the sex scenes were introduced and written, but then again both of those things are not my cup of tea, oh and also the fact Aaron kept Lina on his lap in front of her family. Like gross, why do you want your aunt to see you getting risqué with your boyfriend
. Overall, great if you love rom-coms
