Had a hard time getting through the start of the book - characters just needed to communicate and this whole thing could've been avoided. I found it frustrating - just tell the truth and talk already! Plot picked up a bit and I finished it but some parts felt very tedious. Enjoyed the best friend relationship more than the romantic one.

Loved the audiobook narrators- would be the perfect romcom listen for a long car ride. Predictable plot but enjoyable all the same.
