the first 2/3 of this was soooo much fun, just the kind of lighthearted romp i needed. i’m not surprised i liked josh’s character but im surprised at how endearing i found hazel as well. however this is not a 5 star for me bc

nothing dampens my enjoyment of a romance than a surprise pregnancy 💀 i fully admit it’s a me problem and my own predisposal against having kids  and FOR protected sex idc how drunk characters are…also the second time they had sex still feels a lil weird to me considering they were both asleep…

i would’ve preferred a different third act conflict but i did at least like how it got resolved which is why it still gets a 4 star rating.
