I debated a while whether to rate this a 5 stars or not, in the end I didn't, but it was a near one.
while it's exactly what you'd expect of an ali hazelwood, it's definitely one of the best ali hazelwood books, if not just one of the best romcoms published in recent years ever.
warm and tender and sweet, the dynamic between Jack and Elsie is one that's beautiful. this is kind of romance that makes you kick your feet in happiness and giggle and blush in glee and euphoria. its charming it's witty but also its grounded, its not a fairytale but its better.
also shout out to the friendship between cece and Elsie truly truly a highlights of the book
