Same thing my copy is due Nov 15th.

[Alex (The Scribe Owl)]

Perfect! We'll finish right on time then.

[Alex (The Scribe Owl)]

I'm really liking it so far! I love that each of the little barely-there side characters get their own story. I already almost cried at Irene's story, so I hope this doesn't destroy me.

[Michelle]

So far it is a sweet meet cute story. Love the side characters stories too. Learning some stuff about Korean and Jamaican culture/history.

The scene in the hair products store. FAMILY can be so embarrassing and disappointing.

[Alex (The Scribe Owl)]

I loved that scene xD I was dying a little bit

[Michelle]

Omg the karaoke scene is great. "Have you ever considered wearing chaps? XD

The brother is a douche!!!

I might have just finished... sorry! I was doing the reading for today and I just couldn't stop. The epilogue destroyed me and the audiobook was fantastic! I'll link my review here when I finish it.

Here it is!

Laughing because I just finished. Was going to wait until tomorrow to post something. I was listening and putting on makeup. Didn't quite need tissues, but did wait until finished to put on mascara. Such a sweet fun little book.

[Alex (The Scribe Owl)]

It was really good! Definitely going on my favorites shelf. Good call on the mascara xD

I agree it wasn't tissue level, but it definitely was I-can't-read-this-in-public-or-else-people-will-ask-what-the-heck-is-wrong-with-me-looking-so-sad level.

[Michelle]

There is a reason is it is movie. Maybe I will watch it this weekend. Although it can't be better than the book.

[Alex (The Scribe Owl)]

That would be so much fun! I'm going to see if I can stream it anywhere.
