3.5 stars if i forget the last 20% ever happened

The murderous stalker getting a better redemption arc than her best friend (who slept with her ex and then regretted it and profusely apologized for it) reeks of internalized misogyny…

4.5

This book was so fun! It had me literally laughing out loud, gasping at outrageous parts, and swooning. Very cute!

I docked it half of a star, because I did find the writing a bit juvenile at times. It reads a bit young even though the characters are all adults. Also, some of the conflict points were just a bit underwhelming. However, the sheer charm of the book made up for it in my opinion!

4.0

A classic fun 00s romcom of a book. Hannah is driven, Jack is ridiculous and I love them both so much. It's devastating and delightful in one

"Love is something you generate. 
"And loving other people really does turn out, in the end, to be a genuine way of loving yourself."
