TVFN took me on a delightful rollercoaster ride through time, love, and self-discovery. Kat, the witty and relatable protagonist, stumbles upon her ex at a friend's wedding, and suddenly, she's whisked back to her university days. But this isn't your typical nostalgia trip—Kat's mission? To right past wrongs and maybe, just maybe, find the right guy. Enter Tanner, our sweet, cheeky heartthrob. From the get-go, I was Team Tanner (Elijah, who? 🙅‍♂️). His vibes were as off as a broken Wi-Fi connection, and I was practically yelling, "Ditch him, Kat! Choose Tanner!" 📢 

Nicole, a fellow Swiftie, sprinkles Taylor Swift references throughout the book (cue the "Love Story" soundtrack). Jenna, Kat's BFF, is the kind of friend we all need—loyal, sassy, and always ready with a meme. But let's talk about Tanner: considerate, smitten since day one, and with eyes that light up like a notification on a freshly charged iPhone. His POV? I craved more of it, like an extra scoop of ice cream on a hot day. And those jaw-dropping moments? Trust me, they hit harder than accidentally sending a screenshot to the person you're gossiping about. 😱 

Nicole, you've outdone yourself! I laughed, cried, and wanted to hug Kat! And that ending? 🤯 Let's just say it's like finding a unicorn in a coffee shop—unexpectedly magical. So grab your favorite latte, cozy up, and dive into "TVFN." It's a wild ride, and you won't regret it!
