This book was really cute!! 

I loved the idea of a conspiracy theorist and a skeptic working on a web series together - the potential for witty banter was high with a combo like that and this book definitely delivered. Hayden and Hallie absolutely match each other’s freak. Hayden is quite possibly the cutest little nerd there ever was. Not to mention 6’4” and sexy af. But also kind and caring and loving and thoughtful and I could go on and on. 

The struggles Hallie goes through are so relatable - who among us haven’t been made to feel small or “too much” by those who’d seek to think better of themselves at our expense? But it was so lovely to see Hallie’s journey with Hayden and how he helps heal that part of her, and encourage her to fight for herself and stand up to her shitty ex. 

I also loved all of the millennial humor in this book. it felt real without being cringe, banter that I could see myself having with my close friends. And TWO, count em, TWO references to Franki Muniz movies that I love?? amazing. 

the ooonly issues I had with this book, and why it only got 4 stars, were that I felt it was a bit too insta-lovey for my taste which is a personal preference, and this was in no way marketed to me as enemies to lovers or rivals to lovers so it’s not like I expected that. I just wish there’d been a taaaad more resistance before they got together. Because of how quickly they got together, it felt like the rest of the book was trying to force a sticking point in their relationship which, to be fair, her insecurities were valid, but it bothered me that she felt like she needed to step back from the show for his sake when she knew how terrible Hayden was on his own with it. I’m not sure what I’d have done in her shoes and maybe I shouldn’t judge, but I wish she’d found it in her to do the show without needing the reassurance from the comment section. 

All in all though it was really cute and I enjoyed it!
