Reread: I think I loved this even more the second time. It’s just so good

First read: Liz and Wes were sososososo cute and I just adored Liz. I could relate to her so much and just fell in love with all the characters. It was so well written and enjoyable.

PS if anyone ever wants to know my type it's Wes Bennett. I will be taking no comments at this time. ...more

3.5 stars**

that was cute & i loved the edition of the song lyrics throughout to make this feel even more like a romcom film! at times it was kinda basic, and i wasn’t the biggest fan of the writing, but i still had a good time :)

6⭐️ ASF. Godddd I loved this book with my whole soul. It had me giggling so much. Wes, the man that you are!!! But their relationship was just so pure and everything you could wish for in a romcom book. This the most perfect book I’ve ever ever read. You best believe I’m gonna reread it 20x. I could talk about it for hoursssss
