This was a really fun rom com. It does cover some heavier themes/topics but still manages to be lighthearted somehow. The plot moves quickly towards the back half and I almost feel like the author tried to add too many subplots. The heavier themes are discussed with care but are brushed over a bit. There are several plot lines that feel rushed/thrown in and wrapped up so there weren’t any loose ends. It was published in 2015 so some of the language is dated but I didn’t mind. Also, the author is British and some of her colloquialisms really shine through (being an MA native myself, I could definitely tell what didn’t fit). All that being said, I laughed out loud so hard and also felt for these characters, especially a certain scene towards the end of the book.  I really liked all the characters and their interactions! I’m looking forward to reading more in the series!

Omg I love Garrett Graham. More specifically, I love how much he loves Hannah. They are just so cute.

Especially the way he gets her back after what his shithead dad did.

really enjoyed this book. garrett is perfect (audiobook actor garrett sounds perfect too). hannah is complex but relatable. no complaints. spicy scenes weren’t very graphic and there wasn’t a lot of them. what is there is lovely though 2.5/5. 

lots of talk about rape so be prepared for that.
