I really enjoyed the story of Wes and Liz.
I liked their relationship, how it changed throughout the book and most of it really. I especially liked Wes' character. The only thing I did not like was the third act conflict and their 'breakup'. It just felt unnecessary and after everything that happened the day before. ...more

Such a great enemies to lovers story! Gah, I loved it so much that I read it in a day! Very innocent and cute. I wish there was a sequel (I googled if there will be one and it comes out in 2024!!!).

las referencias a taylor swift, lo presentes que están la música y las comedias románticas, y los personajes de este libro (wes te amo) hacen que sea un 10/10
sin la evau de por medio me lo habría leído en 24 horas sin duda!!
nivel de inglés bastante normalito :)

This book is FOR SURE on my top 3 favs

I haven’t read a romance in a while so this has really woken up my reading slump….

I love every inch of the story, I wouldn’t change anything. In my opinion, the writing was on point, not to much detail but also not so superficial… in other words the right amount of everything.the character development as the story goes, the plot was beautifully written and build up… and the climax was even better.

In short words it’s was a “perfect” rom-com
