this book was weird. It just had a lot going on, and it was hard to follow... It was weirdly inappropriate and so cheesy which made it highly unlikeable.

Thank you to NetGalley, to the author, and to the publisher for this complimentary ARC in exchange for my honest review!!!

I like that for me this book told a story without the need for "that ending". What I mean is we simply followed very real, very flawed characters. Through a friendship that might have too many ups and downs to survive? Or does time jist change some people and how they view the world? And then maybe we always move on from certain places and people. And that's ok. The trouble is we only view it as an outside viewer. So it's easy to see the flaws, the mistakes, the miscommunication and secrets! When of ypur living it like these four friends. Then it just life.
I'd like to think not all journeys with friendship.are quite so fractured with angst. But some are. And this is their tale.
And I'm sure there's snippets along the way where we can all relate to within growing up and friends along the way. Hopefully not to these extremes most of the time 😬.
I liked this book. In that it just told the story of a group of friends. And we were there to bear witness.

This book follows four childhood friends Nori, Ethan, Gwen and Andy.. navigating relationships, the consequences of secrets and the miscommunication between the couples and tropes was messy to say the least but it kept me wanting to find out what will happen at the end of each story.. Despite the characters being flawed and to an extent not likeable, however their development throughout the book made them "grow on me" a little more... Really enjoyed this read

I Love That Girl by Hannah R. Goodman follows four friends experiencing the consequences of their actions. Throughout the book, we see many ups and downs in the relationships between one another. There's miscommunication, secrets, love, passion, and angst. These four characters all have an abundance of flaws. Traumas and problems that explode in moments of panic and derailment. Goodman has a way of detailing scenery and key actions. They're beautifully worded to portray the feelings of all four characters and to highlight intense points in the plot.

The characters are not meant to be loved. Or praised. Or even admired. I found myself struggling to finish this book because of this. Many tropes popped out throughout the book that were not to my particular taste. Lots of miscommunication and secrets are held between the characters which had me wondering why they remain friends. There's a lot of passion. A lot of lust. Too much that it felt unnatural and excessive. The exact age was not written, however, they're supposed to be around 20-25. These characters are college graduates, but they act more immature. Too many lines were crossed. Many that I felt were unredeemable but then were forgiven and forgotten with a simple apology.

I love to be connected with the books I read and that means a main character I can root for. Not all the time are they perfect, but I can accept and understand their flaws like my own. However, this book had, not only one—but four, main characters with deranged morals that were fixed with a slight slap on the hand. This is not the type of book I particularly enjoy, but if you are into impeccably imperfect characters with a whirlwind of a plot, then this is for you.

Thank you NetGalley and publisher for this book!

This was a good one! I really enjoyed this book. I had a hard time putting this one down. I really enjoyed the writing style and the characters chemistry was great. This was a first for me by this author but will not be my last!
