A review by buffyreads
The Perks of Loving a Wallflower by Erica Ridley
4.0
The Good
Tommy's pining was everything! Her love towards Philippa and willingness to help her even if it hurt really touch me. And her flirting... I was kicking my feet! I loved how bold and uncompromising she was with her love. She knew what she wanted and wanted nothing less. Philippa is an interesting character. She is kind, selfless, and a great friend. I also liked that she was flawed. She both wanted adventure and control but also was constantly willing to go along with anything her parents asked of her. It was often contradictory and difficult to which she sometimes choose to ignore. Tommy and Philippa has amazing chemistry. I loved the slow burn and the mutual pinning between them.
The Bad
I expected to dislike the subplot of this book which is why I didn't not finish it the first time. It's easy enough to ignore but I wish it had actually been more interesting. I wish the cover reflected how Tommy is described. Tommy is more butch than femme as shown in the cover. It's an very important aspect of the book and the cover feels wrong.
