 It has been a hot minute since I read a physical book this quickly. I just could not put it down! Its been long enough since I read the first 2 books that I didn't mind the refreshers of the story and I'm just such a sucker for characters from other books making an appearance and seeing the other perspective. I loved that the book didn't have as many time jumps as the others, it felt much more cohesive. I do agree with the criticism that a lot of character growth happened off the page, so that would have been nice to see more in the book. However, that does not take away from how much I enjoyed this book! 

 This was pretty cute and enjoyable. Not much more to say about it tbh. 

 My God that was a journey.. This is probably one of the best rejected mates books I've ever read. I truly don't see how they're ever going to redeem themselves lol. 

 I was sooo excited about this book, I was so happy to get an advanced audio copy for this because the premise seemed so up my ally. But damn I was so disappointed in the execution. The FMC was just so unlikable, and don't even get me started on the friend.... This book was an example that saying over and over how obsessed the FMC is with the MMC doesn't actually make it believable. You have to actually show some yearning and some development of feelings for me to buy it. I really do not like insta-love

I think this book is somewhere between the 2 and 3 stars because I do think the story progression was pretty good and the texting was fun, but I also just truly didn't care for the characters so I cannot rate it any higher. I also just have a huge pet peeve when people talk about 13 year old's like they are adults now, so yea that didn't help. At least it was a nice quick listen while in a couple of hours.

Thank you so much for the advance audio copy, the narration was wonderful!

 So this was actually like so adorable!? I was just sitting here listening to it and started laughing and smiling in the distance. So good and fun! Defo check tw's because it handles some heavy stuff in quite a lighthearted way. I just wish there was a book dedicated to the friends because they were so fun!

I feel like this series is giving me whiplash, but also somehow I have already read 4 books in this world already?! The writing is so nice and easy to read, I love (most) the characters and the story. I think most of this book I wanted to give it 4 stars but that ending.... I love it so much that I have to put it up to 5 stars.

I don't know why but this book took me 4 months to finally finish reading, but boy was it worth it lol. Its such a fun and silly series, especially not knowing where it was/is going. So fun and quick and I can't wait to finish it!

 Really well written and a story that is not often told. Highly recommended if you're looking for a non-conventional story! 
Loveable characters: No

 So like I was set on making this a 5 star review, because holy crap I think I died and went to heaven reading this book. But I cannot ignore how terrible of a person the MMC is omg. Like just piece of trash manipulative behavior for days, but like just ignore that and the book is great! Big part of the high rating is jsut the fact that there is FFM rep in this book, severely lacking that in the Bookish community. Also I think office romance and me don't vibe that well because the anxiety I felt for them being discovered oh my. 
fast-paced

 Couldn't get into the audio because the accent was just too heavily put on for me to enjoy. But... Actually really liked the story once I switched to kindle! Some of the best mental breakdowns I've read in a book, so so good. Reason for no 5 stars: did not like the epilogue and it's another case where there's a lot of bark and no bite imo.
