Ok, i really enjoyed this book, it’s cute, it’s not insta lovey since it does take place over a decent amount of time. I like the development of Emory and where he stands with not only Lorelei but his life and what he wants. The development of the side characters is done so well it makes me want to read there stories too ( side note I’d love to read a story about Willa, Emory’s mom, she seems like such a fun, interesting character.) The dialogue both external and internal is not cringey, aside from the one use of the word “wiener” which came off so childish, and there’s no over use of a pet name(i hate that.)  

There’s a moment in the third act in which the towns gossip column has written a piece about Lorelei and Emory and there escapades in the park and Lorelei is rightfully upset, but Emory has no idea about it and he wakes up like he’s a Disney princess with birds chirping, sun shining, walking with a bounce in his step, and the way this scene is laid out right before he finds out is SO FUNNY to me, it made me laugh out loud and i loved it!
 

Overall i enjoyed it, I’m hoping the rest of the series is done just as well.
