WHAT IS WITH CHARLIES?????? gosh, Charlie is exactly MY type. Funny, sarcastic, good-looking, smart and a softie at heart. He got me, I am so sorry Wes Bennett! I hate comparing but I like this book so much better than BTTM. For one, the fmc wasn't annoying and the mc totally swooned me with all his funny remarks and cat obsession. Second, them being seventeen wasn't super in my face unlike BTTM. I am a woman past my teens and it's hard to fall for YA contemporary anymore without it making me feel old, but surprisingly, the characters didn't feel super young when I was reading it. Probably also because they were working and barely mentions school. Also, plus points we got Charlie POVs although I wish we got more about his family life. I just also love how he loves every of Bailey's quirks and finds her fascinating. And oh, I love Bailey! She's equally just as funny. I don't really blame Charlie for falling for her. The only thing that's unrealistic here is how he actually thought they wouldn't end up together lol. Their first meeting already have so much chemistry. Their feelings were just waiting to catch up on them since Day 1. OKAY, BUT ALSO, THE GHOSTING WAS TOTALLY UNCOOL CHARLIE (I just gotta say).
Overall, it was an enjoyable read. Lynn Painter has been redeemed for me.
