Iβve been wanting to read this ever since I started seeing it all over bookstagram, and idk why I waited so long but Iβm so glad that I read it! I can definitely see why this is so many peopleβs favorite!!

I liked the writing style and how casual it was. The author nailed the inner monologues of the main characters, and I loved reading from both their POVs.

I loved Anastasiaβs character and her development. I was able to relate to her on some levels and I love how she got the ending she deserved π

Nate is the epitome of the βgolden retriever boyβ. He was honestly adorable and the way he cared for other people, even when they made mistakes was amazing to see. And the way he listened to Anastasia and helped her get through some tough things was so wholesome π₯Ή Iβm glad that we get to see a love interest in a romcom thatβs genuinely good and supportive

Their relationship is to DIE for!!! Itβs such a healthy representation of a good relationship and it was so unlike the previous romcoms Iβve read. I donβt like the miscommunication trope in romance books, so a relationship where theyβre honest and communicative was so refreshing to see and I loved it so much!!

the side characters were such a fun part of the book. Their banter was funny and I loved Anastasiaβs friendship with the hockey team. However, there were quite a lot of side characters that we donβt know much about and I was confused whenever they were brought up because I didnβt remember them being introduced.

This is definitely a new favorite!! π«ΆπΌ The only reason it wasnβt a 5 βοΈ was because I felt like it was repetitive, it seemed like every other chapter Anastasia and Nate would argue over something, then makeup by hooking up, then go back to arguing. It was just a lot of back and forth. Also, it was a bit too long for my liking. Some scenes really dragged on imo but Iβd still highly recommend this!
