"At first I thought the story was good and then the so called “Croatia Trip” kept being mentioned and it was very intriguing made me look forward to it, but when the trip finally happened so much other events were more interesting than that trip. The book was okay and their relationship was nice, but would I recommend the book? No she was so in denial through the whole book and it was draining. "

"This was such a sweet book! There were so many cute and funny moments! This book captured my attention right from the start and managed to keep it until the very end! Sometimes I found it a bit annoying how oblivious the main characters were, but what can you do? C'est la vie. Overall it was a really good book!"
"I liked this better than Beach Read! Great friends to lovers rom com story! I knew Alex and Poppy loved each other and belonged together. I was happy when they finally gave in and figured it out too! I did find myself getting frustrated waiting to find out what the fight was about in Croatia, and then when it was revealed I was kinda let down because I didn’t think that should have resulted in Alex and Poppy not talking for 2 years. However, they figure out and get past it, they grow up, and get therapy which helps them express their true feelings. Once they actually communicate…they fall in love!"
