So, I would prefer not to give this a rating since I didn't finish reading it. I gave up around 43%. However, since Amazon doesn't have the option to post a review without giving a rating I will give what I did read 1.5 stars.I almost stopped reading at 17%, but this was a new author with really great reviews and I wanted to give it a chance. The premise was great and I was hoping I would be able to enjoy it in the end if I just made it past the rough patches. I tried skimming. I tried not being irrationally angry at the overuse of the word sexy. But I don't think Spencer used Brock's first name, not once. Come on man. He has a name, it's one syllable! Although, I will admit he did switch it up at one point and call him handsome. I still cringed.The book did make me smile at some points, and there were a few really funny moments. However, they got lost. I was rolling my eyes constantly. Their first date read like a caricature of some high school girls fantasy. And, I never thought I'd say this, but it was too cute. It bordered on saccharine. I was waiting for something to draw me in despite all my pet peeves (that I wasn't previously aware of) being triggered.Basically, this book just wasn't for me. I'm sure people who enjoy rainbows, and sunshine, and cotton candy will love this. The only thing I loved about it was the cover, and it's time for us to part ways. It's not you, it's me and all that.
