I downloaded this book four months ago when it was free on my kindle... and as was the case here, I usually read the synopsis before downloading then don't bother to refresh my memory before I read it because, ya know, I wouldn't have downloaded it if I didn't think I'd like it would I?...

So I'm reading away and thinking 'aww this is gonna be a really sweet young-adult romance', the writing is very real and I'm enjoying the whole not-love-at-first-site thing it has going on, it's not the usual 'sexy billionaire with hot bod meets beautiful virgin who has brains as well as the best boobs in town' kinda story... and then wham, I'm hit with the realisation that, ya know, this book is not gonna have the HEA I'm rooting for... I mean, how many times do I have to do this before I 'get' that I need to read the blurb and maybe a few none-spoiler reviews before opening up the book... gaahhh!

The story was pretty unconventional and there are two quotes that sum it up perfectly:

"With Charlie, the love snuck up on me. It's a comforting love, a familiar, soothing love."
"My love with Charlie is real love. It is argumentative, non sugar-coated, fart in front of each other love."
.....Aaaah the feels <3

So the story was really good and I loved the way it was written... but oh my goodness that ending... I hate it!!!... it's just so sad and so... final! ugh! *dramatically flings herself across the couch*

I cried a lot at the end of this book... it's not glamorous, it's real and raw and I wasn't prepared for it... It's also charming and funny and I smiled a lot too... I'd definitely read some more from Tammy... I just hope the endings are more agreeable! :)
