I liked the writing style and the main characters felt very real, however, the whole premise of the love story was really hard to wrap my mind around.

Cute, quick read. The writing style was not my fav, like the main character was talking to you at the reader sometimes. But I liked the characters and the role reversal!

This was a very sweet, quick read! Definitely more YA than the other Ali Hazelwood books I have read. It was very enjoyable and had me feeling giddy at some points.

I feel like this book was used to set up the third book rather than really advance the plot until the very end. I did enjoy it, but all of the books felt a little repetitive and left me with some unanswered questions.

I sped through this whole series! I felt like it could’ve been condensed to two books between the whole series, but if I read a book in less than a day, I have to give it at least 4 stars!
