4.5

YES - my favorite of hers so far!

What I liked in comparison: the main character loved pie/cake/etc. and I didn't hear "Thank God for bourbon" every 2 seconds, conversations around how different Max and Olivia are (backgrounds, race, gender, etc.) were done SO well, and there wasn't a weird "wait this is supposed to be a hookup, I don't have feelings GROSS" moment that was aggressive (it was more like a subtle, ohhh no I have feelings teehee moment - very different).

What doesn't make this a 5 star: there's a bit of repetitiveness and unlikeliness throughout the book that made me roll my eyes but nothing that made me hate those moments
