Rezension von Natália Oliveira<blockquote><b><i>“I wish all the dates had been mine.”</i></b></blockquote> Ugh, this was exactly the heartwarming, deliciously funny, and adorable YA contemporary I was hoping for! It's funny, the characters are lovable, there are emotional moments but tons of the cutest romance, some coming of age, friendship, family...the recipe for success, in my opinion. Sophie is such a relatable character, and I felt for her - not only her heartbreak, but her wanting to achieve great things, feeling dislocated from her cousins, which were a tight unit, but also very family and friendship-driven. I LOVED her family, from her parents & sister (the hospital visit left me shedding a couple of tears, I won't lie), to her grandma and the crazy uncles and aunties. As with almost all contemporary YA romances, it's predictable and cliché, but it's so cute and lovable I couldn't care less, and honestly, the cliches here were utilized very well within the story. I ended the book with a smile on my face. I also have another book by this author on my TBR, can't wait to get at it!
