I was expecting a little bit more, but a nice read nevertheless. I had hoped for a little more depth. The story itself is very straightforward. And that’s the sad thing about this book; it’s all very shallow. And while there was a lot of potential, the author kept it safe and easy. 

A fun and fast read in between two bigger books. But I’m sure the story won’t stick. This one is just one of many love stories.

Read this book hoping to donate it after confirming my beliefs I wouldn't enjoy it but found the book captivating and sweet.

This book was okay but I cant stand books that are like 'eight months later' or whatever because I dont want any gaps in the story, although the ending was cute :)

I liked it a lot and became pretty attached to the friendship formed between Will, Stella, and Poe. Especially Will and Stella since they were the main focus of the book. I do admit I kind of wish that the book was less fast paced and let us see into their characters a little bit more. At times the characters felt one dimensional and served the purpose of being only a romance and that their CF was just a tool to push them together. Nonetheless its a fun lighthearted read with a lot of emotional moments that really hit you in the feels. 

As the book progressed I definitely enjoyed it a lot more. Especially in the slower more detailed parts. Will and Stella’s conflict with the lives they lived was very compelling.

Ps) Poe remained both my favorite character and the one I’ll hold the closest to my heart <3

 Ok so i’m still recovering from the ending of this book! Honestly, I really struggled to read the first few chapter of this book but once I got past the start I was hooked!! It’s a not so happy ending but also a happy ending at the same time. It was one of those books where they are more like the real world where you don’t always have happy endings which may be why i’m still recovering from the ending.
