Great first chapter. Loved Nick and I loved Lily and her family. Felt like the conflict was resolved relatively fast and didn’t drag on for too long. Kept the book moving

This book was a pleasant read. Some parts seemed slow, but I was able to read it without skipping over parts. A great contemporary modern love story. Serendipitous can describe the relationship. I was able to semi-identify with the main character. She was the sister that felt like her life wasn’t together. I thought she was a bit pretentious but every guy she judged was interested in one of her sisters. The male protagonist started off strong and it was very easy to fall in love with him.I wouldn’t be surprised if this turns into a movie. I would love to see these characters come to life.

this was a cute romance. I wasn't too invested in the love story between Lily and Nick. The story read a little like a YA romance to me, but that might just be me.

Cute but even for a rom com I found it to be a bit too out there and unrealistic. The first half flew by but then the last 2 hours seemed to crawl.

I loved all the sci-fi and fantasy book references. Overall I liked the story, though I think my enjoyment of the book was colored by my frustration with one of the narrators, and I would like to come back and reread this someday in a print or ebook format. But the characters were delightful.
I could not stand the male narrator, Malik Rashad. Every sentence sounded the exact same; he dropped the last word of every sentence in the exact same way, and it came across so monotonous it made me want to scream. Keylor Leigh as the female narrator was great.
