Ebook provided by NetGalley for review. Thank you.
This book was so cute but it had serious and important stuff too! How often have we all read novels and got swept up in the romance wishing we were dating the hero (or heroine in my case)? Well this book takes a look at what happens if you do date the hero, from both the good and bad sides actually.
I absolutely love Merrilee and how small but strong she is, not necessarily physically but emotionally, she had the strength to realise that something wasn't right and to do what needed to be done. Monroe was a jackass who needed way more of a comeuppance. Eliza was a great friend and I felt sorry for her with her parents being constantly absent.
Toby was a sweetheart and the perfect example of how to act when you have a crush on your friend that isn't reciprocated. That is, no differently to normal and if you have that much of an issue (which Toby didn't) then break off the friendship. Fielding was an interesting character and I loved the way he developed over the course of the book.
All the characters were well-developed and I really wanted to know more about Mrs. Gregoire, did she have some kind of magical powers? The whole life imitating fiction thing was fascinating as well, I'm just gutted we didn't learn Trent and Lilly's 'bookish' story. Small plot gaps like that are what knock off half a star, it was so so close to being 5 stars and on the web where halves don't exist it'll be rounded up rather than down.
4.5/5 stars.
