This is the first one in the series so far that I would actually consider "warm and fuzzy" and my favorite so far

In a Not So Perfect World by Neely Tubati Alexander

I would recommend this for people who like fake dating, cute pets, strong friendships, and pop culture references.

I personally didn't care much for our main character. I also thought it was odd that she didn't take time to reflect on certain parts of the interview that she went to. I totally understand that as a woman in gaming she'll have to deal with some nonsense but I'm hoping that she actually addresses all of that later in the story.

I love this couple together but there was soooo much lack of communication and it irked my soul.
If you can get on stage and recite a poem about her, you can tell her how you feel my boy

I really love the tv show but I think I should have read these sooner. The writing feels very outdated and is often boring.

THIS IS NOT A ROMANCE

It is literary fiction that has a vague romance subplot if you can even call it that. Stop referring to this as a romance when it is very clearly not. 

All of that aside, I did not really like any of the characters. I admire Eva trying to be a good mom but her daughter was annoying as hell and she and Shane need to learn to communicate like the grown adults that they are.
