OK so first off if you haven't read this book yet I highly suggest dropping everything and reading it like rn please and thank you 😌

This is such a swoonworthy YA rom-com and I fell in love with every page <3 I've never highlighted so much in my life 💕 

Dafne and Theodore are hardcut academic rivals cast in the lead roles of Romeo and Juilet who are forced to work together if they want to achieve their career goals!

The relationship between Theodore and Dafne is built upon the old enemies to lovers trope in all the best ways and the genuine adirmation and chemistry these two develop for each other is so sweet. There is so much banter not just between the main characters but between the side characters who are so vital to plot and it really adds to that overall hearty feeling. 

I buddy read this with x and the amount of times we were left screaming at certain chapters just has me smiling from ear to ear. So many swoonworthy moments- the 1am 'are you up' texts, MOULIN ROUGE, the pining oh my the PINING (ARGHHH) but the karaoke scene will forever live rent free in my head and I really loved the way just being round Dafne made Theodore turn into my a blundering mess <3 

Dafne is incredible in her own right she is a real knows what she want gal who had me rooting for her from the start. She is so loveable and her experiences justify her feelings and make her human and relatable.

Lolly really explored anxiety in such a relatable way especially when it comes to academic pressure so kudos for that!! The writing is fluid and the POV's blend really well with the side characters being as important as the main love interests. For a debut novel Lolly has knocked this out the park I can not wait to see what they produce in the future!!


NO THOUGHTS HEAD EMPTY JUST THE GREATEST LOVE STORY EVER PLAYING OVER IN MY HEAD LIKE A BROKEN RECORD
