I absolutely loved They Hate Other so I’ve been very excited for this book but I was also nervous because sometimes I just don’t love an authors second book as much as I did the first one but y’all this book is SO FREAKING GOOD!! Like I really really loved it!! It was sweet and funny and emotional and heartbreaking and heartwarming and so much in between! I absolutely loved both Emma & Caleb so much and was invested in both of them from the very start. I also adored Juliet so much (especially with the reveal at the end ((I 100% guessed it really early on too))) and I loved Caleb’s mom, Liz, & Alice too! 

One of my favorite things about Amanda’s books is how complex they are! Both this book & theo deal with really heavy topics (really well, I might add) but they’re mixed with humor and self deprecation and so much love that they’re impossible to put down! I just really loved every single thing about this book and highly recommend it! Will definitely be making my list of favorite books for the year 🩵
