Not sure but ok for the most part

The fmc was a bit weak and extremely clueless for 18. That didnot sit right with me. The story did not fit for 18 year olds. More like age 13 but it was still an ok story.

Liked it more than I thought

If you are looking for a quick and mostly lighthearted read (or listen) this might be for you. It’s about a girl and her journey to find out who she is and what she likes. There is also a cute love story, but it wasn’t the only focus. This book was a lot about friendship and how friendships can change over time. And that it is possible and totally okay to make new friends.

Most of the story I really felt for Charlie because it was so sad that she was so insecure about showing her girly side to her best friends (who were all boys at that time). But there was so much character development on her side and also her best friends became more open and accepting in the and. I liked that there was no unnecessary drama, which I was expecting when I started that book. But there was none and I enjoyed that a lot.

The only reason why I didn’t give the book five stars, is that I wanted to see more depth in Jason’s character. The reader is told constantly how amazing he is, but for me that was not enough. Don’t get me wrong I really liked him, but I wanted to see him as a complete person. On his own. Sometimes it felt like his only job was so support Charlie. I would have enjoyed to get to know what he likes and dislikes and to see some flaws, too. Because everybody has flaws, but his only “mistake” was his temper when he stood up for Charlie. And that didn’t even have an effect on the plot. Like not at all. There wasn’t even an argument or fight between the two. I mean it’s great that there was no forced drama in the story, but Charlie wasn’t even upset about his behaviour. And I would have let that slip if there was any other teeny tiny flaw in Jason’s character. It doesn’t have to be big, but it would’ve made him a lot more real. Now that I think of it he feels like the perfect dream boy. And that’s okay, if you just want a dreamy new book-boyfriend. (And we all want that sometimes, don’t we?) I think I just wanted more because it felt like every other part of the book was pretty realistic.

Over all I still really enjoyed the book a lot and I would definitely read it again. Maybe I even will when I just need some fluff and a perfect book-boyfriend to escape from the real world.

Oh and maybe I should say that I’m almost twenty five, and I’m most likely not even in the main target group anymore. So if you are a teenage girl you will probably enjoy it even more than I did.
