I'd love to be able to go into as much detail about this book as I have with other ARCs I've read, but it's one of those books where there's just not much to say about it. It's not a bad read or one I'm going to scream from the rooftops. The entire thing was pure fluff, the plot and most of the characters didn't have any real substance to them. But it was easy to get through and, true to its name, made me cringe at some parts. I finished it on vacation, as it was a good book to read a few pages of when you're waiting for your stop on the train. (And I'm giving it bonus points because a book being set in England can only help its case.)

Well this was a very interesting read. This story is about an 18 year old girl named Hannah and a 17 year old boy named Sam. It's pretty much a story about their life as they finish high school. It takes them and their friends on some fun adventures during the summer before going away to college. Hannah and Sam keep bumping into each other in totally awkward situations. The book was so funny and just a fast, fun read. I thought the characters were so quirky and weird but it really added to the story. It was interesting because this book is categorized as a young adult book, but the language was strong in terms of cursing and there was some sexual content. Practically half he book is spent talking about sex!! But to be honest it felt true. A group of 17-18 year old boys and girls?? Of course they are cursing and having sex! It was just hilarious to see. The party scenes are realistic for the age of the character so I liked that. Most YA contemporaries just seem so cliche and fake to me. The beginning was a little boring and hard to get into but it did get a lot better throughout. There is something that happens near the end that I just found so pointless and did not add to the story, but other than that I didn't find anything else wrong. This book was good, but not great. It did not WOW me in anyway. In my opinion this was just a fun read that you could fly through, but there's just not much to it so if your looking for some mindless entertainment check this out.

Overall, the book was good. It had some very weird parts, and I didn't really like the characters.

Sweet, funny and frank. I can't speak for the boy bits but the relationships between teenage girls (with their interplay of love, affection, envy and frustration) was captured very well.

Had a nice start but got slow in the middle of the story. Nice characters but it took me a while to want to finish this book. Had a decent ending.

I would definately buy this book!
You could really feel that the parts about Sam were written by a guy and the parts about Hannah by a woman. Loved the sneek peak into the boys-world and the way the girls are around each other is recognizable.
Already knew the story was gonna have an happy ending, but I did wonder WHEN. Sam and Hannah keep messing it up together.
Hannah and Sam are awesome characters. The other characters in the book fit really well in this story.
There is humor, romance and a fast paced way of writing, witty jokes and sex-humour.
I love this kind of book. Just enjoyed it a lot!

Wow this was a huge disappointed. It was basically about 17/18 year olds talking about losing their virginity and obsessing over it and boys in general.
It was honestly so stupid I had to speed read and I didn’t get interested until like70% of the book.
If you are looking for surface level, teenager stuff maybe you will like this ?

3,5/5 Liefde voor alle HP opmerkingen! Soms vond ik het verhaal best awkward, maar al het humor maakte een hoop goed. Ik vond wel dat de verhaallijnen van een aantal personages voor mijn gevoel niet helemaal waren afgerond. Hoe gaat het verder met Stella, Grace, Pax en zijn neefje? Ik wil daar meer over lezen.
