Rezension von Natália Oliveira<blockquote><b><i>“Books, bringing people together.' That would make a good slogan for the library.”</i></b></blockquote> I absolutely adored this book. As much as I'm not a huge fan of contemporary YA or romances in general, every once in a while I have this romantic, I-need-to-read-some-fluff mood and since I've read Fill-In Boyfriend, Kasie West became one of my go-to authors for that. This novel did not disappoint. In the same manner as her previous book, the writing is fluid and light, the romance was cute, the characters are very relatable and realistic, and it even breached some deeper stuff - A+ for her very accurate representation of a person with anxiety disorder and the importance of mental health. The romance in itself was slowly build and the chemistry between the characters, as well as how good they complimented and balanced each other, was just right. And locked in a library? PERFECT TROPE, YES OR YES? There were some things that bothered me, like Autumn's relationship with her friends (the lack of honesty in it, actually), the pressure Jeff's parents put on her, how Jeff always 'pressured' her to do what he wanted, even before de accident, despite sensing and seeing her discomfort. And how could her friends just FORGET her in the library in the first place. Some of those things felt a bit fake to me, and hardly believable, but I could put it aside and it didn't kept me from enjoying the novel. I had so much fun reading this and I'll definitely look out for more of West's novels. Four easy stars.
