I loved and appreciated a lot of aspects of this; the message, the writing and pov choices, the pace, the characters...but ultimately I never connected with the relationship, and as a contemporary romance- that's sort of the biggest element of the story. It was too over the top, cheesy, needy, instalove rom-com for me personally, and I never felt the connection that all the other reviewers have.

message 1: by Devon (new) - added it

Devon Munn Yeah, the minute I heard that it was a romance in one day, I was laughing


Abby (Miss Abigail) I know what you mean Lala, but I was able to forgive a lot of the insta-love because of the ending, and I just love her writing!


Ashley Buchweitz Finally a review that begins to state what I felt reading it. Though I thought the writing was a little weak. I likes the characters just hated how they played out the day.
