Josh and Hazel originally met in college (with a hilarious backstory), and reconnect as adults.
When he finds out that his longtime girlfriend has been cheating on him, Josh leans on Hazel, and an unlikely friendship blossoms. Josh is more straight-laced and mature. Hazel is zany and eccentric. They are an odd-couple-like pairing that somehow works.
In each other, they find what they never knew they always needed.
Throughout her life, Hazel has been hurt because she's always "too much" for people. They enjoy her antics, and then expect her to stop and be "normal" after a while. She is just being herself, and has learned that she is happier alone than tamping down her spirit.
The book has many hilarious moments (the Khia ringtone!!!), and is a sweet friends-to-lovers romance.
I have to say that I found Hazel to be kind of cartoonish and annoying though.
Josh was awesome. So sweet, funny, smart, and accepting of Hazel just as she is.
Thank you to NetGalley and Gallery, Threshold, Pocket Books for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
4/5 Stars
