ACTUAL RATING: 4.5 stars

I have no chill about this…I LOVED THIS BOOK!

I am a much bigger rom com fan than I am that of drama. However, Hates Notes is honestly exactly what I enjoy about contemporary romance. It’s the perfect combination of comedy, drama, and steam. The first half of the book is super light-hearted with great banter while the second half is a bit more serious, involving life-altering revelations for the main characters.

Can we just talk a minute about Charlotte and Reed!? I absolutely adored these two! Neither one is perfect — far from it, actually — but they are perfect for each other. Charlotte gives Reed life and Reed gives Charlotte stability. I really enjoyed the various aspects and evolution of their relationship.

Not to mention, their meet-cute is hilarious and definitely different!

If you’re wondering why the 1/2 star deduction after all this raving, it’s because I can never get enough of the ‘after’ with characters that I love.

This is my first experience with Vi Keeland and Penelope Ward, but it definitely will not be my last. OBVIOUSLY, I recommend this book!
