Alex, Approximately by Jenn Bennett

First, I absolutely loathe this cover and needed to be so much cuter! Anyway, this is the third Jenn Bennett book I have read, and it was super adorable. However, I do like The Anatomical Shape of A Heart and Starry Eyes more. 

I actually liked both of the characters but again, not as much as in Jenn's other books. There was also some weird drama like with the drug addict friend. Also, sometimes I wanted to shake Bailey and just yell, "Open up to him!" Plus, the talk about movies could have been way better because I am a pretty big film buff myself.

And why Bailey didn't tell Alex she was moving to the West Coast, I didn't understand. I get it she's an "evader", but still! However, the romance between Porter and Bailey was spot on. Fighting to lovers is the best kind! There needed to be more conversations between Mink and Alex shown as well!

Bennett always gives her characters distinct and awesome personalities that show great characterization. This was a fun read that kept me addicted to the pages! And I seriously can't wait to read her next book!!
