There is a lot of saviour complex in this book. BUT I feel like Evie was given a lot of agency to make her own decisions and to prove her own capabilities. I did not feel like Evie needed a Prince Charming. I really appreciate how, au contraire, Evie didn't really look for a Prince Charming until she was already secure in her own mental health.
This was a cute read.

Well it was cute and frustrating in equal measure.
I'm pretty sure I have said this already in another review but I think it needs revisiting. I understand that a story would be quite short if two people turned to each other and said, "I like you" and the other person said "I like you too". I mean where is the fun in that? But does there need to be as much miscommunication as frequently occurs in YA romances? There is certainly a degree of charm when two nervous people are scared to admit how they feel. This phase seems to last an awfully long time in some books though. That being said, I did like this novel. It was enjoyably quirky, and I feel like the anxiety rep was done quite well. The characters were quite engaging and the dynamics were entertaining. Pretty solid YA romance that made for a fun listen.… (more)

I was enjoying this. I think it was just the time in my life that I was reading it. I stepped away and my galley expired. Will I give this another try. Absolutely. I liked it. It was building into a sweet romance and I want to know how it ends.

means speaking up even when sharing her truth is terrifying. As she tries to be honest with her friends and family,
she struggles with sexism and harassment in horrible but all-too-common ways. This powerful narrative centering
female experiences and #MeToo conversations is essential.
