Synopsis:
Natalie and Rob couldn’t have less in common, but they share the fact that their respective best friends are getting married. To make matters worse, right before the ceremony Natalie learns Rob gave her book one star on goodreads.
After the ceremony, they part ways and never hope to see each other again.
However, things have a funny way of working out, and sometimes the harshest critic can become the biggest champion.
Thoughts:
This book had plenty of funny moments that just left me laughing out loud from the hilarity of them. I was really entertained when I was reading it. I felt that the writing was done really well, not only did it make me laugh, but it also made me feel all sorts of other emotions as well.
I loved how we got to experience so much of the characters’ lives by time traveling through key moments in their life. I think that this got to experience the full breadth of the relationship and what it was built on, and we were only able to do so because we were able to skip ahead. To me this was the ultimate way to experience the character’s and truly get to know them.
This is very slow burn romance, that kept me waiting almost too long, and it is closed door. I enjoyed the characters, though the main characters felt a little over the top at times. I love how in the beginning you don’t imagine them getting together, but by the end of the book I was rooting for them to just hook up already. This book was definitely a deep dive into the characters’ lives. The side characters were a lot of fun, and I enjoyed getting to know them all. While this book was most definitely a romance, it was also a tale of love between friends and how those relationships grow and evolve over time.
This book is perfect for beach side reading. It is pretty light though it does touch on some heavier topics such as the pandemic and cancer.
