I enjoyed this book. It was a fun, quick read. It's wasn't anything particularly original or well-written, but it was a nice, fluffy summer read.

I have to mention one thing that really bothered me while reading this book. Harper, the lead character, is always having these huge klutzy moments. This is a book/movie trope that I aggressively dislike. I could name more than a dozen movies off the top of my head (mostly 90s romantic comedies) where the female lead is just a total klutz, knocking things over, tripping over nothing, literally bumping heads with the cute male lead, etc. It's annoying and honestly pretty lazy writing. Was there really no other personal flaw that could've been highlighted? It is such a tired trope. And what was even more annoying to me was that the author acknowledged that it was an overused cliché at two different points in the book.

The first was a scene between Harper and her friend, Kristina...

Harper: And to top it all off, I was at peak klutzy mode

Kristina: Like, lovable lady in the first quarter of a romantic comedy clumsy?

And sure enough, about a quarter of the way through the book we don't have any more clumsy moments (at least, not physically clumsy. Harper isn't exactly the most intuitive of characters, which leads to some very awkward interactions) as she starts running around in stilettos while intoxicated...because those two things lend themselves well to people with clumsy tendencies, right?

One other thing that kind of bugged me was the dynamic between Harper and her parents. At the beginning, we are told that they are a little on the restrictive side. They won't let her watch certain tv shows (namely Gossip Girl) because of the adult content...but then they send her 3,000 miles away to stay with a family friend who is an enabler (and in most cases, instigator) of bad behavior. It just didn't ring authentic for me.

All in all, I did have a fun experience reading this book, and I think if I'd read it at age 16-20ish, I probably would've LOVED it.
