i have a few gripes with the way gus thinks everyone was a waste of time except for january in school, but i guess it fits his angsty vibe? also january saying dumb bunny is weird. some typical romance tropes like the leaning and “dark eyes,” but it doesn’t take away from the enjoyment of the book overall. it’s nothing groundbreaking, but it’s a good introduction to romance if you’re looking for one.

Some things of note:
-Bless her for
-The sarcastic banter. Top notch.
-You could cut the sexual tension with a knife.
-The part where
-
-Them finally
-The 'this can't get any worse, then the Labrador farted' bit 😂
- Further to this,
- Is it just me that found the ending really
- Mix that with
When I started the book, I hated it. It was the 'I'm a romance author and just luuuvv talking about my life in third person, oh what am I like!' but at the start that almost did me in but this was thankfully dropped almost immediately.
I almost stopped reading pretty quickly but I'm glad I kept on with it and ultimately, it was a really fun rom-com and exactly what I was in the mood for.

I guess I’m in the minority when I say this book was just fine.
The characters were fine, the writing was fine, the sideplot was fine, everything was just fine.
There was some beautiful moments, I’ll give Beach Read that. Also why Beach Read? There is absolutely no reading at all beach if I remember correctly, mostly writing at beach houses.
Also Gus kept saying that he fell in love with January’s writing. Im sorry, did we read the same snippets of writing?!? Because it was completely bland, a 5th grader could have written better prose.
