My favourite Giovanna book so far! A lighthearted romance with a little bit of spice, I throughly enjoyed it. My only complaint with Giovanna's books is references to popular culture at the time of writing, it does age the book as many of the references are out of date. As a millennial I appreciated references, however it could be off-putting for much older or much younger readers. That being said, I laughed, I cried, and I fell in love with the characters more and more as I turned each page. I could read about these characters again and again. I want to get to know Carly and Josh more, and I want to know what happens with Sarah and Brett! I'm so excited to read more of Giovanna's books, I hope she returns to these characters in future though ❤️

I'll be honest. I took this to my summer vacation and as a summer vacation book it was fine but it was so predictable. I've seen from miles away julie having an affair with jonathan, josh and carly sleeping together, her being pregnant but then having a miscarriage, and real brett liking her since uni . Like i kep being like yep yep yep. Also none of the characters ever really felt like real people but they just kept being characters in a book. So yeah i was a bit disappointed with it if I'm quite honest
