I don't give 5 star ratings to contemporary romance novels very often. I usually see them as kind of junk food palette cleansers between more serious reads. And I don't mean to sound like a book snob that's just how I feel okay? But I absolutely loved this book. The only bad thing I have to say about it is that the title is kinda lame lol. I have not had so much fun or laughed so much reading a book in a LONG time. It was so refreshing. I also read the book super fast. I loved Alfie omg he is the sweetest person ever I wish I knew someone like that in real life. The little bits of social media and news articles in between chapters were always fun. The chapter names were great too, I just love when chapters actually have titles. And I have to say I also really liked that this was just from one POV. I know most people prefer dual POV for romance but I think it ruins the magic a bit when you know what both people are thinking. Anyways, this is a great read and I definitely recommend it to anyone who likes romcoms.

Thanks to Netgalley for the advanced copy!
