It kind of lost me in the last 50 pages, I don’t really like miscommunication tropes. But the first 250 were perfection.

Even though I wasn’t too sure at first, I enjoyed reading this book so much. I ended up not being able to put it down! It was just what I needed - a fun, light-hearted and lovely story to put me in a good mood. And it did just that :)

i enjoyed this a lot more than i thought i would. in the beginning i thought hazels “quirky” trait might get on my nerves but it never seemed to and i genuinely enjoyed their friendship/relationship, as well as the background characters. the trope at the end surprised me and i thought i would hate it but it wasn’t the worst here. i wouldn’t have preferred it, but it worked alright with the story i think. overall pretty cute and super fast.

Well, this was absolutely delightful and lovely. I’m not usually enamoured with the “quirky girl” trope, but this toed the line well and I really enjoyed Hazel and her ‘Hazel-ness’. I also found this was one of the better friends-to-lovers tropes I’ve read. The relationship that develops between Josh & Hazel seems so genuine and their opposite personalities meshed into great chemistry. And the epilogue?? One of my favourites ♥️

The premise was cute, and I wanted to like it more than I actually did. Hazel is A Lot, which is the whole point but she was a bit much for me. It was a mostly enjoyable read until the end, though, which I hated.

such an amazing, lighthearted lovestory - exactly what i needed right now! we get to know josh and hazel through their different pov's which helps us understand both of them better - and love them even more! extremely well-crafted characters, a funny and incredibly cute lovestory with some ups and downs and lots of not-telling-the-other-one-my-feelings-for-them. i loved the book a lot and read it in less than a day...but as the ending felt a bit too rushed and i wasn't entirely sure of the whole
Spoilerpregnancy thing
which also seemed a bit rushed i have to deduct 0.25 points.

This is one of the best books I’ve read by them. I cried it was so amazing granted I did finish it at 4 am. I love Hazel and the secondhand embarrassment I felt for her. Josh was perfect.  Overall I would read again. An absolutely   amazing friends to lovers.
