's review

really liked it
bookshelves: cute-ya

Edit: For the love of God I wrote this review two years ago but some of y'all are still messaging me how dare I say I didn't like the romance. I did not like it. That's it.

I was going to start off by making a joke about the vine reference 'two bros chilling in a hot tub five feet apart 'cause they're not gay' (remember that vine?) but I have thought about it so much it's not funny anymore. But if you do find it funny; thank you, I try. (Now that I think of it, a lot of people made that joke before me so I won't be taking any credit lol)
Anyway, you can read the synopsis anywhere so I won't even bother explaining the story because well, you know, I do not want to. It was cute, this book. Short and sweet with (thankfully) mature characters. I mean not very mature as they are only seventeen but much better than the characters you read in a typical YA book.
I do have one problem though; the absolutely unnecessary romance. I mean WHY does everything just need to have romance in it? I just do not get it.

Greyson | Use Your Words That’s one of my favourite vines. I got a proper massage for the first time and was told to think relaxing things Andy brain decided that replaying vines in my head was the most relaxing thing I could do.


Zainab @Greyson vines just never fail to make me laugh :D

Yess, I don't watch a lot of vines or know a lot of them but this is one of the few that I just know


Zainab @Helena Yeah these were the 'golden' ones. The actual good ones.


Helena @zainab yess


Brooke | brookesreads This review made my day entirely because of the part about the vine lol, I totally forgot about it😂😂


Zainab @Brooke Glad I could do that :D


Erin O'Connor {If The Review Fits} Did y'all see the trailer for the movie yet? Ahhh!


Zainab @Erin yep :)

allura **4 life


Zainab @Allura Haha I don't know, they try to put romance everywhere and it's getting tiring.


message 33: by Jessa (new)

Jessa Miner This reminded me so much of The Fault in Our Stars, I found myself wanting them to all meet, like be couple friends. I envision them going on double dates, like bowling, or something and just chillin' with two great working lungs, and seven functioning legs between the four of them. Oooo, what if Isaac and Poe were there too?!! Oh My God!! My brain is a horrifyingly beautiful place to be in(I'd say sometimes, but lets face it, it always is)!!


Zainab @Jessa Aww, that'd be cute :)


message 35: by Jessa (new)

Jessa Miner @zainab Thank you!! 😁


message 36: by Alice (new) - added it

Alice Because the person that wrote it meant for it to be a romance novel.


message 37: by Cassie (new)

Cassie Beebe I love that vine! 😂


Zainab @Alice I know that but I'm just tired of seeing romance in every book these days lol


Zainab @Cassie So do I :D


Lucy Burga precioso y super recomendado


Matilda Adamson Amazing story. I definitely would recommend this book to those who like a bit of tension and don't mind romancd. Read this then go watch the movie!! :-)


Zainab @Matilda Agreed :)


Shabnam Gurung Because as much as I would like it to be untrue, romance YA sell 😪


Zainab @Shabnam I used to be obsessed with romance YA when I was 16 or so but it all has gotten boring now


Jasir Ahmad Because falling in love changed Stella and will...both of them understood different things from each other...they found importance
