4 stars — Yeah, this worked for me. Like, I can see things that might not work for others, but it totally worked for me. And I think I was surprised, b/c of the whole BFF’s ex thing, but I was satisfied with how it played out for the most part. I get that Rachel […]
3.5 stars — There were so many things I absolutely LOVED about this book, but it was also missing something to push it over the top, kwim? I am in LOVE with Asher. He was unique, adorable, almost too good to be true. He swoonily always said the right things when it came to his […]

4 stars — This book started REALLY strong, and I was laughing out loud at some of the inner thoughts of Naomi. There were still a lot of things I loved about the story, but I also sort of got tripped up by the writing on occasion. I’m not sure what exactly about it, sometimes […]

4 stars — So after writing this review (below), I totes went and read through some other reviews, and even a 1 star one because I was curious. And while I hate when people have to be mean in their reviews, if I ignored the extremely negative way it was written, the reviewer actually made […]
3.5 stars — So I finished this book with a fairly solid 4 star feeling…but the problem is that there were a few things that bothered me, and I made the mistake of going to read other reviews to see if other people were equally bothered, and suddenly I was more bothered. GAH! I have […]
