ok i know some people have problems with hazel, but i find her to be one of the most lovable and genuine characters i have ever read. yes, she is crazy and quirky and fun, but it’s done in a way that makes her feel so real rather than manic pixie dream girl. josh im… i just… want to know where men like this actually are so i can go find them and date them, he is the sweetest book boyfriend ever! the main reason i’m not giving this 4 stars is bc there is a twist that was both extremely predictable and also lead to one of my least favorite tropes in a book. that being said, it was still a cute book with a happy ending, just felt a little bit rushed.
