Klune is best to read in a slump. These simple romances with dynamic character and character relationships are such an easy and fun read. Extremely entertaining.

I had a bit of a hard time getting into this one. The start is immediately captivating but it slows considerably for a while before it picks back up again. Then it really runs.

I love the main characters. Yes, even the manager. Some side characters were very one dimensional, which is fine I suppose. But a lot of them seemed to serve the same purpose. Having a raging one for Hugo. Fr

The ending,

look I’m all for the romance and the happy ending. I still don’t think Wallace should’ve been brought back to life. Unless there is a sequel in the works, then ok fine. But seriously the heartbreak of it all would’ve been so good. However, I was here for something feel good and it delivered so can’t fault it for that.

The writing is simple and easy. It does make me cringe sometimes,  but like I’m a good way. Like I’m a teen again reading fic again. A bit repetitive and on the nose. However, again it’s exactly what makes it an easy read and doesn’t feel demeaning to the reader.

A cute and simple read littered with depressing ideas.

Loved this. Loved the characters (Wallace and Nelson are a comedic duo). The plot was interesting and heartbreaking (teared up twice) and the ending felt like it wrapped it up nicely. The -0.5 is cause i thought the writing could of used more work, there were weird tone shifts in the first two-thirds and I found that the author didn’t really introduce the plot and the characters in the best way, felt very confused and disconnected until i started getting to know the characters and then i fell in love with them.

Apparently sexual harassment is funny?? This book has potential but I just cannot get over the uncomfortable dialog and situational humor. I enjoyed the philosophical parts though.

I enjoyed it a lot. It's more skillfull in tying in its themes than the first book by the author but also more angsty in its premise. 

I thought the sexual jokes about Wallace were a bit much and uncomfortable at times, though.
