This one was honestly so much fun!!!

I was a bit apprehensive when starting this one because I didn't really like the last book I read in the series, but I shouldn't have worried because I was maybe two chapters in when I KNEW I'm going to love it.

Like, this story is so soft and quiet and I love it! If you're looking for angst and drama, please look elsewhere because this book won't deliver. Instead, what you WILL find is two people meeting and falling in love with each other's quirks, humor, strength and passion. It's just honestly so lovely to read of.

And it really helps that I LOVED Colbie and Spencer. I've love Spence for a while now, and him being all like "I can't balance work and love" while he is DOING IT was really amusing to me. And Colbie is just cute and funny and sometimes I just go so sad for her, and then so happy because she gets a happy ending!!!

tbh, the only thing I am not a major fan of is the epilogue. like, why does he need to propose after 4 weeks of knowing her? Why can't they just be together for a while without some grand gesture? Why couldn't that gesture happen six months after they met instead one? Also, it's highly unrealistic that the movie adaptation was really that good. Like, seriously, I've seen maybe two great series adaptation to the seven hundred awful and mediocre ones...
