I was given an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Normally I LOVE celebrity romance type chick lit, but this one just didn't do it for me. Maybe that's because the romantic lead was modeled after Benedict Cumberbatch (who I'm not opposed to, I just don't get all of the hype for him #sorrynotsorry) I liked the main character, Clara, for the most part, but I hated the back and forth between her and Caspian. Also, I could hardly take his name seriously through the whole book. I know that was the point because of the jokes about Benjamin Cucumber's name, but come on now. When it got to the end and he just wanted to explain to her what happened and she just walked away all I could think was for the love of God just listen to him so that this can all end!
The best friend CiCi, however; can I get a book about her? She was my favorite throughout the whole book, and I loved the friendship with her and Clara because it reminded me a lot of my best friend and I. Not to mention a shirt that says "My goal weight is Chris Evans on top of me" because absolutely YES.
Also, there were a few weird breaks in the typing that made it hard to follow, but I won't hold that against the book because I'm sure it will be fixed before the final copy goes out. This wasn't a horrible book, despite how my review might sound, but I actually enjoyed it and would read more from the author.
