Thank you for the chance to review this debut novel. Let me start with a positive: I love the premise and the characters. It is predictable but in a soothing way. I assume this is a very rough draft because it requires much editing. Some pronouns don't stay consistent, character descriptions also change, repeated sentences, and even a few moments with the wrong character's name. Editing aside, my biggest issue with this book is the lack of meaningful character interaction. There is so much we are meant to infer rather than read. There are characters introduced who have big life stories, but are relegated to one sentence explanations, while we have paragraphs of meaningless activity. This book screams for more scenes with characters talking and fewer excursions. There are too many plot points happening with the scavenger hunt, the paper of Rom-Com rules, the roommate's mental health, Colin's actual health, Amira becoming distant, the dad falling apart... It is too much for the lack of character development. It is an enjoyable story with enjoyable characters, I would have just liked to hear them more and see them develop more.

This was super cute and I really enjoyed it! I loved the relationship between Avery and Charlie. The turns and secrets were great. It was a fun and quick read!

This was soft and aching and sweet in all the right ways. The writing that pulls you in without trying, making it quietly impossible to put down.
