Let’s be real, I’m sitting right at about 3.5 stars right now. I loved The Hating Game and had heard this one might not measure up, but I think it’s about even in my opinion.

This book feels like a cozy blanket, a hot drink, and a warm hug. It may not have been written perfectly if I’m honest, especially with how Ruthie’s character was portrayed. She felt a little one-note at times, and I think Teddy was more thoroughly fleshed out than she was. She felt dependent and like a lost puppy dog following others around most of the time. I get that was kind of the point, though.
