In het begin vond ik het maar een beetje een raar boek en ik had geen idee waar het verhaal nou eigenlijk naar toe ging. Toen ik eenmaal wat verder was toen las het lekker door en was het heel erg leuk om te lezen, ook al is het een vrij voorspelbaar boek.

This was extremely cute and awkward and adorable I literally picked this book up at 11:30pm and couldn't put it down until 4am when I finished.
Even though I thought some characters had definite overreactions, and Hannah really could have saved herself a whole lotta trouble if she had just been honest with Stella from the get-go instead but just keeping all these giant secrets to herself *urgh* I still really enjoyed these characters and their story.

Such a cute story. The authors ate British so the swearing is prolific. But Sam and Hannah are so cute! Yes, there was a lot of typical boy girl drama, and some very not nice behavior. Hannah and Stella's relationship was also very interesting and mostly realistic (fairly inflated for dramatic effect). Definitely a mature book though, it's fairly sexually graphic. It reminds me a lot of a college version of Angus, Thongs, and Perfect Snogging. Very well written and fantastic characters. The plot wasn't half bad either.

** definitely an "R" rating. Lots of swearing including the F word, sexually explicit scenes, and minor drug use.

Stella is awful. No redemption. Hannah is too nice. Pax is an airhead. Sam is just alright.
Casper. He's the jam.

Cute book but it literally revolves around the main characters losing their v card

This book would be a really good and easy poolside read if you just want to crank one out in an afternoon. It’s nothing special or profound, but is cute and had a couple of plot turns.

I LOVED this book! Listened to the audiobook and I think it’s my new favourite book! So funny I laughed out loud so many times!

I loved this book so so much. I really related to the parts of the story where the female MC feels like she is living in the shadows of her friends so the book really hit close to home there and made it very hard not to like. It is very difficult for books to make me actually laugh out loud but this book did it more than once. The only reason that the book is not a full 5 stars is because Stella made me want to jump off a cliff and the Grace thing (trying not to spoil!) she never faced repercussions for and she definitely should have. Also I found Pax so unlikeable and there was never a real conversation about him between the characters when I feel there should have been, as well as Charlie. I do think that the authors should have gone deeper into the reasons why Stella is the way she is instead of just skimming the surface of that.
