Though maybe it’s because this is the 5th Ali Hazelwood book I’ve read within the span of three days. Maybe I’m just imploding from too much exposure to tall, grumpy, large, scowling, pining (did I mention tall?) male love interests in different fonts....more

It’s actually getting light outside, what a horrifying confrontation with the consequences of my actions.
And for what??? To obsess, fangirl, swoon, faint, giggle, cry and blush over fictional characters and completely butcher any standard of a future partner with the most unrealistically high expectations?
For god’s sake Ali, leave a girl be.
So. After this second staying-up-all-night-finishing-Ali-Hazelwoods-books-in-one-sitting-experiencing-serious-heart-palpitations binge spree i feel inclined to say that the five star rating is based purely on the fact that this book wrecked me. Emotionally, physically, mentally, hopelessly, severely, unfairly. All the ways. This book made me giggle non stop, for gods sake? Actual, crazy, why-is-she-staring-at-her-ereader-at-5:30-am-and-laughing-uncontrollably, giggles. But I do want to point out that this book is not very good. There was a twist that I saw coming from the very first chapter which was resolved in the most hilariously unsatisfying and effortless way. Any of the conflict and tension were more minor inconveniences and bumps. The relationship was basically a much needed therapy session.
But ohmyfuckinggod I’d reread this book till my last dying breath and die the happiest person.
Anyway. Can I have some appreciation for the effort I’m putting into typing a review at 6:30 in the morning while running behind on multiple days of sleep and while rocking a sugar high that not even an eight year old at the fair after having eaten a sugar candy the size of its own body, can equal? Because I just know I’ll read this review when I wake up in probably three business days and slightly hate myself....more
