This book was so adorable and everything I needed in my time of need. It was fun, it was light-hearted and just generally cute. Told in both Eve and Max’s perspectives we get to watch as they both help their best friends in their attempt to find true love. I ended up devouring this book in one night as I found it impossible to put down.

I found myself loving Eve and Max and how developed these two characters were. They both dealing with their own issues and struggles but were quick to step in and help their best friends, who I also really loved! Becky was such a fun character and I can completely relate to her not ever wanting to work out!

While this story is predictable it didn’t stop me from fully enjoying this story and immersing myself into their world and the messages the two shared whilst pretending to be their best friends. My only issue is that I felt like for Tom and Becky to find their soulmate they had to change their personality and interests.

Overall, this was a super cute and quick read that just makes you believe in love and second chances. So if you’re looking for a beautiful and romantic, will they/wont they story this year this is the one for you!

Thank you to NetGalley and Headline for providing me with a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

*I received this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review*

What I'd hoped to get out of this book was a cute, lighthearted Read with fun characters.
Unfortunately that's not what I ended up getting from this book.
Personally, I didn't like Max and Eve much at all, which made it a little hard to connect with the book.
This book is marketed as comedic, so I was expecting a rom com style read, and yet I didn't find it funny and honestly the romance wasn't great either.
The plot seemed to drag and the wound up being rushed in the last few pages.
There were a few moments that were enjoyable to read, and I really did like the idea of the overall premise, which is why this is getting a two star review. I just feel it could have been executed a little better.

let me start by saying that there's nothing wrong with this book or that there's anything bad about it. for the most part, it was fine - except, i didn't enjoy it. i expected it to be exciting but it was... not. it was also so incredibly hard for me to get into this book, to stay focused while reading because i found it to be boring. i was not intrigued by the main characters, found them to be slightly whiny and honestly, i expected them to be smarter and realised that they're actually not texting the person they thought they're texting. i also expected them to be honest maybe in the middle of the book but it didn't and overall, i built up a lot of expectations for this book but none of them was met. i did like max and tom's friendship though.

Nice characters but felt it wasn’t for me as I’m not part of the swipe left/right generation. Little confusing as to who was texting who. Not a bad read.
