I'm not a fan of chapters alternating between the present and past, I should've expected a book such as this would have that. I wish we got to experience things at the same time as Poppy and Alex instead of seeing through the flashbacks, that way I feel like the falling out between them would've been more impactful.

At first I thought Poppy and Alex were great but as the book dragged on, their antics were starting to get old. There was a lot of back and forth and unnecessary inability to communicate between the two. I did really like Poppy but she could be a bit much at times and all Alex seemed to do was take it which left me feeling that he lacked a real personality. But maybe that's because we only see from Poppy's point of view.

One thing I do really enjoy about the way Henry writes is that I find genuine humour in her books, I love how great the two MC's bounce off each other and I think that's shown really well here with Poppy and Alex being so different and yet so hilarious with one another.
