2.5 stars. This wasn't terrible. I almost gave it three stars, because I actually found myself grinning like an idiot through a good chunk of this short novella. But when I thought about it afterwards, I realized that the dialogue was just very unrealistic for a couple of 18 year olds. Especially Daniel. One minute he's calling everyone really awful nicknames (Powder Puff, Cheese Tits, etc.) and the next he's spouting off these flowery proclamations of love...it just didn't ring authentic to me.

I didn't like Six in Hopeless. She was so one-note and a very stereotypical 'outspoken, sexually-liberated, best-friend-of-the-virgin-main-character' character. I liked her better in this book. She seemed to have matured quite a bit, which makes sense as you read the story and learn about the things she's experienced in the past year.

I liked their romance for the most part. I liked the banter. I liked that they were real with each other and accepting of each other. I also liked his interactions with his family.

This book is a super quick read at only 130 pages. It was a light, fluffy little read. I do wonder if maybe I'm just not a fan of Colleen Hoover's writing, because while so many other reviews laud everything she writes, I find myself underwhelmed. I still want to get my hands on some of her other works. I haven't given up yet!!
