I HAVE SOME FEELINGS ABOUT THIS NOVEL AND I'M ABOUT TO WORD VOMIT A LITTLE BIT.

First of all, from the SECOND I started reading I saw myself in the main character - both with dark hair (but I envy her blue eyes), we're both Small, we're both Cute (even though, in my case, I hate being cute), and we both have a love for books. LUCY IS ME TO A T and I instantly loved her because of it. I also resonated with her character because, like her, I'm also Super Nice to a fault and would much rather take some extra work on myself to help/please other people. I relate to her inability to speak up for herself sometimes, and yet again, it just makes her more endearing.

ENTER JOSHUA, WHO PROBABLY HAS THE EXACT SAME OPINION OF LUCY AS I DO. God I have no clue why I'm such a sucker for the dark, mysterious, brooding, a little unavailable, a little cocky, JUST bad enough love interest because WOW. I loved Joshua too, and I loved his character development throughout the novel. Finally getting him right alongside Lucy was so satisfying!! It all clicked!! And it just made me want my own Joshua even more!!!!!!!

I admit that the plot wasn't anything revolutionary or unique - the hate-to-love trope is not that uncommon, BUT the whole novel was written in such a sassy, sarcastic, 'I gotta beat you I gotta be the one to win always' way that it just keeps you wanting more, and more, and MORE! Not to mention the many moments in which I physically squealed or slapped my thighs in frustration because Lucy the man is clearly in love with you how are you not getting it yet!!!! The banter between the two and the one-liners and the way in which they just... went with each other's energy from the Very Beginning just fuelled my soul, it was so wonderful. And also, my GOD this was the slowest burn in HISTORY. AND I LOVED IT.

If you need something easy, funny, a little raunchy and very sweet, pick this one up!!
