Love love Love! This was so much deeper than I expected!

I loved this book 

I loved all the characters and their different personalities (Rachel cracked me up and i’d love to have Tiffys friends) 

This book moves SO SLOW in the beginning or at least the romance does (obviously they’re only speaking throught notes) 

I knew it was creepy when Justin kept showing up randomly everywhere she went and i just figured he was like hacking into her stuff (is Marvin completely dense) 

Okay the actual romance LEON IS A LITTLE SWEET HEART (not in bed ig though 😏 not even joking when he was being you know all dirty and stuff my jaw DROPPED i was shocked) 

Id love to see Tiffys wardrobe and her outfits because i had such a hard time visualizing it.

Richie made me giggle (was rooting for either gerty and richie or rachel and richie ngl)

Gerty being with Mo was SUPER OBVIOUS if you just look at all the hints but i was not focused on them AT ALL especially not Mo (sorry) love a supportive friend and all and you need that like angel on Tiffys shoulder but Gertys just bluntness also made me giggle 

I was reading this book in between my classes (having no friends and also having 1/2 hour to 1 1/2 hour long breaks between classes sucks ass) and i’m SO GLAD i didn’t read the last like 5 chapters while there because I COULD NOT BE QUIET I GASPED WHEN JUSTIN PROPOSED and practically cried when leon was all sad and tiffy was struggling.

I loved this book! I really enjoyed Beth O’Leary’s casual and fun writing style; especially reading the differences in how Leon and Tiffy think with their split POVs. I thought it was very well paced and I didn’t want to put it down for long. Tiffy and Leon as characters were well fleshed out and I enjoyed their dynamic with each other and their slow burn attraction. I squealed a good amount of times while reading, I felt like I was reading fan fiction it was so wholesome at times! Even with Tiffy and Leon aside, I was interested in other characters and I didn’t find myself ‘skim reading’ over them (which is rare for some books I can’t lie). I would definitely read a sequel of Gerty and Mo and Richie and see how they’re getting on; I loved their different energies and they felt real, not just there to serve Tiffy and Leon. ALSO, can I just say I ADORE how Tiffy was clearly written as a plus sized woman and YET it wasn’t her only character trait and it didn’t affect how people were attracted to her, or how people treated her. I ALSO ADORE how Leon (and Richie) was both Black and Irish and yet again, it wasn’t his defining trait, and it wasn’t the defining reason why Tiffy was attracted to him. Sometimes when I read heterosexual romances it can be a bit bland or problematic, but this was full of life and making them both inclusive and yet not having Tiffy’s body or Leon’s race be the only thing they talk about was so refreshing; massive props!

I literally don’t have any criticisms of the book, perfect sized, well paced goodness! 🥰

Absolutely loved this, read it in one sitting. The beginning felt a lot more drawn out compared to the third act, where it felt very fast-paced. The plot was definitely convenient but I don't really mind cause I enjoyed what it was, a cheesy, feel-good romance.

handles dealing with someone who has been emotionally abused really well. really admire how O'Leary wrote Leon to be so understanding of Tiffy's PTSD and panic disorder
