I loved this book so much! No notes.  I was so looking forward to reading it but was just never in the mood.  I still wasn't when I finally started listening to it, so I know it could have totally hit harder at some point, but like I still adored it.

I really think it was Christina Lauren at their best.  The chemistry and spice is perfection while staying somehow realistic.  The communication and maturity was just SO GOOD! and the humor was laugh out loud funny and relatable.  (Pop culture references were perfection!)
