June and Jasper are two teenagers who hate each other and have to travel together across different states to get to a wedding. it is an enemies-to-lovers, but what i like the most is how they take this roadtrip as an opportunity to learn and mature.

we spend a lot of time inside June's mind (sometimes, too much) and it's good to see how she changes and how this change will reflect on her actions. she understands where her past actions come from, but never denies how she's at fault — all this without accepting bad things (or the lack of something) because she still deserves respect.

the ending was so satisfactory, when everything that had been happening inside her finally got out, with Jasper, with her friends, with her family, and it felt like the best way to close the story.

i love some good romance. the fanfic vibes here got me giggling from the beginning and it didn't take long to be really invested. the writing is so fluid and the story, though predictable, is fun. but as the book went on, i just didn't like half the things happening and the other half weren't enough to compensate. lastly, the ending that could make the book better felt rushed and an important plot point was told instead of shown, which left that feeling of something missing.
