Don't ask me why I like this, I just really freaking loved it okay! (Judgement free zone)
This is my first book of Hazelwood's and considering the other reviews I might have felt differently had I read The Love Hypothesis first. I think I should mention that I didn't go into this expecting classic literature, or a complex read critiquing high brow topics. I went in expecting a romance with some spice, and a happy ending. And that is what I got.
Is is true that Hazelwood can't break away from a mold of every character being the same in each book she writes? Don't ask me this is my first one. I found if fluffy and sweet, and humorous.
Listen if I had one complaint from this turn off your brain and read, it would be kinda how weirdly young Bee was written. Lengths are gone to mention how tiny she is and how young she acts. I think there is a fine line between grumpy/sunshine and grumpy/omg she is a child.
I did still really like this though.
I will take no questions on why I enjoyed this.
In my secret heart of hearts I probably would rate this 5 stars but I am in no way ready to accept that.
