Warm fuzzy feelings all the way through, though sometimes they were only an undercurrent. Thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish

I think this book is a really good story and concept and I liked it a lot but it was so so long! At least for me. There was a bunch that I thought was unnecessarily long and that could have been shortened. But that’s my only gripe with this book!

Much better than the film, more romantic and well thought out. I liked the emails and transcripts. The politics was a bit over my head at times but good book.

I absolutely loved the plot of this book. The characters are lovely , and it's really nice seeing the relationships they form between each other. There were so many plot twists in this book!! I was completely shocked. Also this book is NOT a slow burn (which I felt was important to point out) . The only thing I had issues with was some of the language used in the book. English is my mother tongue, but I found many words in the book confusing. Maybe if I knew more about American politics it would make sense ? But yes other than that I absolutely loved reading this book and I'm really happy with how the ending turned out too. I'd 100% recommend it to anyone
