2.0

I think I might hate the “guy falls in love with girl without realizing it’s secretly his best friend” trope. It just feels like it cheapens a relationship? Especially when the beginning of it relies on a lie. 

I want to give this book the benefit of the doubt because I was entertained at times, but I didn’t like the main plot and I think that’s pretty damning. Maybe I’m just starting to fade away from my romance era but I couldn’t swallow the charm of this one.
