Really cute read:)

Andrew and Sohpie annoyed me. I didn't like the way they interacted at first. The plot didn't work for me.

Loved it. It was a super fun and easy read. It did take be about 7 months to read but that was my fault.

*3.5*

“How will that be?" I said "To see each other just because."
Andrew pulled me close and together we looked up at the stars,
"I think it will be perfect,” he said.

So cute! Kasie West really is a master at writing light and fluffy romances, and even after reading nine books by her, I still want to read more.

I really enjoyed the unique take on story telling she took this time around; it's not every day that the plot only progresses at special party events. I also thought the additive of the flowers was a nice touch.

The thing that really took away from everything for me was the main character. She ended up feeling less "sassy" or "feisty" and more just like a very rude person. Even the male lead felt like some things he did went just one step too far, with him ending up in douche bag territory. They did improve a lot towards the end though.

My favorite thing about this book though, is definitely the romance and the banter between the two love interests. They felt so genuine and real (not that that's anything new from Kasie West though). I found myself actually laughing at some of the stupid jokes they made, and all the witty comebacks. Plus that ending was just adorable.

I thought this book was okay. It fell flat with the fact that the book only takes place during holiday/town events. It loses some level of depth and character development. Honestly, I couldn’t figure out why these characters ended up liking each other. It was fluffy and easy but that’s pretty much it.

Od Kasie Westové nečekám zázraky. Vím, že její knihy jsou milé, skvěle se čtou a já si u nich odpočinu. Možná tentokrát mě ale nebavilo, u čtení jsem se nudila a ani jednu postavu jsem si neoblíbila. Jako by to snad ani nepsala moje milovaná Kasie.

V příběhu se skáče z jedné maloměstské akce na druhou a chybí mi různé spojitosti či souvislosti, co se děje, když se zrovna Sophie Evansová nevěnuje květinové dekoraci. Co (ne)baví Sophie ve škole? Jak se chová doma? Jaké má jiné koníčky? Dívá se ráda na filmy/seriály?

Když se všechny postavy scházely akorát na událostech, neměla jsem šanci dokonce ani hlavní hrdiny pořádně poznat. A už vůbec nepobírám tu romantickou linku, jestli se tomu tady dá vůbec tak říkat.

Za mě prostě ne. Kasie Westová je stále super autorka a všechny její ostatní knihy vám doporučuji, ale Možná tentokrát vynechte.

I loved the set up for this story, being told in the events. It was a nice build up. I felt the end was a bit rushed and could have maybe been hashed out a bit more but it was still a really cute and enjoyable story. The character development was great also.

This was just another good and sugary YA romance that I was all about.

This is one of my favorite contemporaries of the year! Maybe This Time is one of the most realistic contemporaries I've seen set in the YA light romance subgenre.

Sophie is a slightly frustrating main character but that's what makes her so real, and seeing her character development as events happen both those she works at with her boss, arranging flowers, but also those between her and her best friend Micah as well as Andrew, her little brother, and her mom. Even her father and also her feelings toward her hometown and how she wants to get out of there.
