When I brought this book I didn't know what to expect. I saw it in the shelves of my local bookstore and the tittle caught my attention. Upon reading the summary, I decided to buy it because it seemed like something that I would like.
And I was right! I really like it! Look, the way that the story is structured, I can see why people may think that this is a somewhat one direction fanfic turned book. There isn't anything that tells me that one direction (and the fan theories about some members of the band having a secret relationship) were an inspiration to the book but comparisons can be made. Nonetheless, lets review the book by what it is and not what could be. And I liked it! Its cute, heartwarming and has fluff, just the sorta of thing that I was looking to read at the time that I started this book.
So, I would recommend it if you want to read something sweet, light and cute.

this was recommended by a Y7 girl, so i thought I'd read it before buying for our library. I was pleasantly surprised. A little bit more sex than I expected (possibly because I was watching Heartstopper at the same time) but the focus is on the relationship and everything is consensual. Characters other than the main two are well written and the story shows both supportive friends and some adults who struggle to understand. This could so easily be a true story, sadly.jazzy_t's review against another edition

Felt the ending was a little lack-luster.
