The line “i hate myself so much for not being loved” bumped this up half a point for me but the preachiness at the end brought it down.

What a pleasant surprise!! I didn't expect to love this book, but I DEVOURED it. 

Hannah is such a badass. I know we don't get to see too much of her being an actual bodyguard, but that's okay. She didn't need it. She is smart, vulnerable, smart-mouthed, and loveable. She doesn't need to prove her worth by killing the bad guy. She does it with her kindness and smarts. I adored her.

I did not expect five stars from this, but what a happy surprise.

Funny, adorable, fast-paced. Exactly what I was hoping it would be. The MC’s voice is sharp and fun, the story is cotton candy light, and the whole thing is just a delight. Single-POV romances aren’t usually my favorite (and this book is on the tamer side), but overall a rollicking good time.
