4.0

» overview «
stars: ★★★★☆
plot: ★★★☆☆
readability: ★★★★☆
characters: ★★★☆☆
writing: ★★★☆☆
recommend: ✗

» liked «
- representation of consent
- representation of a non-toxic relationship
- some cute moments between main characters
- dual POV

» disliked
- personally didn't see why they fell in love with each other
- boring at times
- awkwardly borders the line of being a cute contemporary romance and being vanilla smut
- that one miss-communication plot
- the idea of a campus wide hands-off policy (it's portrayed as being romantic in this book, but if Hannah wasn't in love with Garrett, it would've felt really creepy and weird)

honestly disappointed, i thought this would be much better considering the rave it gets. don't get me wrong, it isn't a bad book and there were some cute moments, it's just not as good as everyone says it is.
