Audre & Bash Are Just Friends
By Tia Williams

YA romance

My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️


Audre is the perfect, determined girl at school, and a therapist in the making.

When given a challenge to help her branch out and live a little, she hires Bash. Bash isn't relationship material, and she needs to finish her self-help book; but what will happen when sparks start to fly?

❤️ I wanted to love this book, and the first half of the book, I did! I flew through it, loving this challenge and the humor that went into it. It was fast-paced and so cute! I did enjoy The ending as well


💔 And then I'm not sure where it went wrong, but it started dragging and I just didn't like the second half. The "theraizing" quit being cute, Audre felt like a brat to all her family and friends, Bash is a liar and bad influence disguised as fun. It just quit working for me! 

🎀 I was the straight A, never in trouble high schooler. As an adult, I've felt like I missed out on a lot of experiences. I loved the idea of a list to break free, but I dont like how far it went past the list. Tattoos given by someone underage isn't cool. Hating baby siblings for being born is super childish. This is definitely a YA read, but there's so many others I'd refer my daughter read when she's older.
