I wanted to like this book but I just didn't. If you're craving the vibes of Christina Lauren's OG Beautiful series, this is for you! It just screams 2010 fan fic in a way I can't get behind. Call me jaded, but this is what rom coms would have us thing corporate girlies in nyc live like. I still can't get over her meeting someone for a drink "after work" at 6:30 AND THEN WE FIND OUT SHE WENT HOME AND SHOWERED IN BETWEEN?! in what world

anyway, it's cheesy and miscommunication central and straight up stupid at parts. But college me would have eaten this shit up.
