4.0

I know a lot of people don't love this book, but I think it's delicious.

The writing is good and it feels elevated from most of the things I’ve read. It's smart and funny and beautiful, without it constantly diverting my attention from the story. 

I loved everything about this. I read two of their earlier books and remember enjoying them, though I don’t remember much else. They were YA rather than contemporary, so the vibe was slightly different. This one, I won't forget.

I fucking loved Katrina and Nathan. These characters were so profound and imperfectly perfect for each other. To tell you how much I enjoyed the book and the writing: I want to buy a physical copy just so I can underline my favourite parts.

This novel did it for me.
