Tia Williams gave us a YA romance novel and believe me when I say it does not disappoint. It was super cute, warm-hearted, and definitely made me laugh. The pacing was perfect, I loved the representation, and the authors approach with the book.
Audre was such a well-rounded character who was full of life, a little unsure of herself, and was still trying to find her place in the world. With dreams of becoming a future therapist she decides to write a self-help book to better her chances of getting into Stanford. But being that she’s barely experienced most things teen girls her age have already she seeks help from Bash Henry her “fun consultant” who also happens to be really cute.
The chemistry was there from the moment Audre and Bash crossed paths. I knew being friends and keeping it strictly business would only last so long. Both characters had strained relationships with their parents. Audre’s mom was a little over the top sometimes and a few of their interactions made me laugh. I felt bad for Bash he didn’t have the best mother and his father basically disowned him. But Audre and Bash were basically the missing piece to each other’s puzzle. He helped her see her true potential and she helped him realize it’s okay to fall in love.
Overall, I really enjoyed the book and mostly all of the characters were lovable. Exploring the complexities of teenage life, parent-child dynamics, self-acceptance, first love, and healing broken relationships the author made everything in the book flow perfectly. If this isn’t on your TBR highly recommend you add it‼️
