Summary

Hazel Camille Bradford knows she’s a lot to take—and frankly, most men aren’t up to the challenge。 If her army of pets and thrill for the absurd don’t send them running, her lack of filter means she’ll say exactly the wrong thing in a delicate moment。 Their loss。 She’s a good soul in search of honest fun。

Josh Im has known Hazel since college, where her zany playfulness proved completely incompatible with his mellow restraint。 From the first night they met—when she gracelessly threw up on his shoes—to when she sent him an unintelligible email while in a post-surgical haze, Josh has always thought of Hazel more as a spectacle than a peer。 But now, ten years later, after a cheating girlfriend has turned his life upside down, going out with Hazel is a breath of fresh air。

Not that Josh and Hazel date。 At least, not each other。 Because setting each other up on progressively terrible double blind dates means there’s nothing between them。。。right?

Swoon! Adding this as one of my favorites! Josh was just perfect! And Hazel reminded me of me honestly lol all over the place!! I love all of Christina Lauren’s books! She has become my favorite author。 I’m trying to read all of them!

Maggie Hayon

Would love to see additional books with Josh and Hazel!

Libby Trogdon

I loved this book so much! Josh is amazing! Josh is absolutely the perfect guy! Where can I find my very own Josh??? Hazel was somewhat annoying at times but also very endearing。 Such a sweet book! I loved every minute!

I mean, the quirky is at level 10。 There’s no way I wasn’t going to love a book about Hazel。 She is fantastic。

4 stars。 I kind of really loved this one。 sure, the premise isn't super original or realistic perhaps, but I think the authors did such a good job of creating characters that felt very real and had great chemistry, and I just really enjoyed the unfolding of the story and their dynamic。 it doesn't hurt that I alway have a soft spot for the best-friends-make-best-lovers trope。 hahaha。 while this is a romance novel, I thought it was pretty mild compared to some of the other books I've read by Chris 4 stars。 I kind of really loved this one。 sure, the premise isn't super original or realistic perhaps, but I think the authors did such a good job of creating characters that felt very real and had great chemistry, and I just really enjoyed the unfolding of the story and their dynamic。 it doesn't hurt that I alway have a soft spot for the best-friends-make-best-lovers trope。 hahaha。 while this is a romance novel, I thought it was pretty mild compared to some of the other books I've read by Christina Lauren。 (although, to be clear, there ARE a few "open door" scenes in the book。) 。。。more

Her quirkiness and the way she didn’t seem to have a filter was s awesome and I loved that Josh loved all of that about her as opposed to her other boyfriends she had over the years。 I loved the alternate perspectives so you could see both of their feelings, although it was frustrating as for so long they both felt the same but didn’t communicate it or act on it。 It was a cute ending。

Christina Lauren - PLEASE go back to writing sexy romantic love stories like the Beautiful series。 This book and a few of the latest books have been SOOOO cheesy。 It feels like these books compared to beautiful series were written by completely different people。 There is enough cheesy romance out there!! You both are better than this!

Really really like the premise, i like their banter and their personalities, it just felt like something was missing, also the ending was really cute I'm glad they were both excited about it Really really like the premise, i like their banter and their personalities, it just felt like something was missing, also the ending was really cute I'm glad they were both excited about it 。。。more

4。5*this was absolutely ADORABLE。 I think we all knew what was going to happen in the book but I LOVED IT SO MUCH。 Kinda wish they (view spoiler)[ didn't go with the pregnancy angle。 I feel like cute romantic books always do that and it's like PLS JUST LET THEM CONFESS THEIR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER vs。 having sex and not putting on a condom。 But also it was cute in the end so oh well (hide spoiler)]。 An adorable and cute romance- best friends to lovers~! A classic Christina Lauren book, I’d say :) 4。5*this was absolutely ADORABLE。 I think we all knew what was going to happen in the book but I LOVED IT SO MUCH。 Kinda wish they (view spoiler)[ didn't go with the pregnancy angle。 I feel like cute romantic books always do that and it's like PLS JUST LET THEM CONFESS THEIR LOVE FOR EACH OTHER vs。 having sex and not putting on a condom。 But also it was cute in the end so oh well (hide spoiler)]。 An adorable and cute romance- best friends to lovers~!

Four stars for being very easy to read and witty。 The story was obviously predictable but I enjoyed the journey to get there。

Kari Blalock

Great quick readSuch a cute little love story。 Hazel was so funny and the chemistry between them was amazing! Loved the whole book。

Celine Simpson

The prologue of this book is only two and a bit pages and I was cackling from laughter straight off the bat。 I absolutely love a book that engages me right from the very first sentence, and this was definitely one of those experiences。 The tone and voice of this read are also perfectly captivating。 Hazel is absolutely my kind of person!I was consistently reading on the edge of my seat。 I love books like this, where I’m dying for what’s to come but absolutely loving the build up。 I have to say ag The prologue of this book is only two and a bit pages and I was cackling from laughter straight off the bat。 I absolutely love a book that engages me right from the very first sentence, and this was definitely one of those experiences。 The tone and voice of this read are also perfectly captivating。 Hazel is absolutely my kind of person!I was consistently reading on the edge of my seat。 I love books like this, where I’m dying for what’s to come but absolutely loving the build up。 I have to say again how amazing I think Hazel is。 As a fellow weirdo myself I felt strangely empowered reading about her and it was lovely。This is happened before to me, where I finish a book and my throat feels tight with emotion。 The story was perfect and funny and romantic! And in classic Celine style, of course you know I love a book and it’s underlying themes, and this one had to be a personal favorite。 That it’s absolutely okay to be yourself, and there will always be people who will love you, not in spite of that but, because of it。 。。。more

What an adorable romance! I love this particular trope so best friends to lovers will always be one of my faves。 I want to be friends with Hazel! Such a free spirit and what a cute couple she and Josh made。

Lily

trial 3! ok so first & second time i attempted to read, i didn’t give the book my undivided attention。 this book deserves undivided attention。 the only thing i rlly look for in romance is that i want to root for the characters to be together, which is easy bc josh and hazel r incredibly likable。 AND THE DIALOGUE。 jesus- i didn’t realize how much other books chemistry and conversations lack compared to josh and hazel。

Glory

It was a quick and fluffy romantic read!I really really really (yes one is not enough, cause Hazel is always extra) LOVE HAZEL! She is quirky and eccentric, and unapologetic for being herself。 She would never try to change for a man - that makes me proud of her。 She thinks she's too much, but she's just perfect! And of course I love Josh too, or Jee-min, for loving her just the way she is。 Josh and Hazel are hilarious together, I really really really (again) enjoyed their consecutive failures of It was a quick and fluffy romantic read!I really really really (yes one is not enough, cause Hazel is always extra) LOVE HAZEL!

Jo

This was just so FUN! I laughed out loud more times than I can count, getting funny looks from my husband in the process。 Very sweet story。

Nicole

Cute, easy read。 Made me giggle a couple times。 I approve of this book。

Jessica Turner

Sweet! Fluffy! Cheesy! Some swoons。 (Metallica would never be the opening act for a music festival where simple plan was playing though lol)

Nina

Liked the relationship。 Definitely too vulgar for my taste。

Julie

Delightful, quirky and steamy! A great listen 🎧 to escape into!

Marnie

Josh and Hazel are just bffs。Josh and Hazel are soooo not going to fall in love。No substance to this one。 Not that great。

3。5 i really enjoyed it, but not as much as unhoneymooners。 i do, however, have major respect for the author for being able to write such different characters。 it didn’t feel like i was reading a story with the same characters or plot as her other book。 i def plan to read more of christina lauren’s other books。(maybe a new fav author??)more about the book tho, it was a cute story and i really enjoyed the double perspectives。 but it doesn’t feel like a story that will stick or be memorable。 it fe 3。5 i really enjoyed it, but not as much as unhoneymooners。 i do, however, have major respect for the author for being able to write such different characters。 it didn’t feel like i was reading a story with the same characters or plot as her other book。 i def plan to read more of christina lauren’s other books。(maybe a new fav author??)more about the book tho, it was a cute story and i really enjoyed the double perspectives。 but it doesn’t feel like a story that will stick or be memorable。 it feels like a nice contemporary that you read when you’re in a slump or looking for an easy love story。 however, i really did not like the ending, it felt weird the way it ended。 i know the author was trying to do a cliffhanger that leads into the epilogue but it didn’t flow well。 especially since the author didn’t give us a “however many years later。” so yeah, i wish the ending could have been a bit more clean。 i would recommend to people who are seasoned in the contemporary romance world。 maybe not a good one for people who aren’t used to contemporary romance。 。。。more

I have said the same thing in my other reviews and I will say it again, I don’t love series or duologies but I wish this book was part of one。 The whole book had me laughing and just made me believe in love more than I already do。 I am in love with how Loyal, caring and perfect Josh is for Hazel and I can only hope that one day I find my own Josh Im。 I also know we can all agree that Tyler is a little piece of crap and that Hazel was way to incredible for him and I hope Josh punched him in the n I have said the same thing in my other reviews and I will say it again, I don’t love series or duologies but I wish this book was part of one。 The whole book had me laughing and just made me believe in love more than I already do。 I am in love with how Loyal, caring and perfect Josh is for Hazel and I can only hope that one day I find my own Josh Im。 I also know we can all agree that Tyler is a little piece of crap and that Hazel was way to incredible for him and I hope Josh punched him in the nose。 Josh and Hazels guide to not dating is one of my new favourites。 I will for sure reread it again soon。 。。。more

This was so much fun。 I love Christina Lauren books, but this one is up there as one of my favourite ones by them。 The chemistry between Josh and Hazel was there from the first page, their friendship was so beautifully quirky and lovely。I loved all the characters so much Josh's family and Hazel's mother were so nice to get to know as a beautiful support system for the characters。 Even the little hick-up/drama we had at some point felt important to deepen their relationship and show them both exa This was so much fun。 I love Christina Lauren books, but this one is up there as one of my favourite ones by them。 The chemistry between Josh and Hazel was there from the first page, their friendship was so beautifully quirky and lovely。I loved all the characters so much Josh's family and Hazel's mother were so nice to get to know as a beautiful support system for the characters。 Even the little hick-up/drama we had at some point felt important to deepen their relationship and show them both exactly what they want。I laughed out loud, I shed some tears, I stayed up until 3am to finish this, so overall, an amazing romance novel that I recommend to anyone who wants fun entertainment with depth and soul。 。。。more

i've just read this book for the second time bc i remembered that i loved it so much the first time i read it, and i got reminded of exactly why i loved it in the first place。the book starts off by letting us know exactly how quirky and fun hazel is, and also how josh is the exact opposite of her, which provides an excellent premise for an "opposites attract" kinda trope to happen。watching their relationship progress as the book went on and getting to see things from both of their perspectives w i've just read this book for the second time bc i remembered that i loved it so much the first time i read it, and i got reminded of exactly why i loved it in the first place。the book starts off by letting us know exactly how quirky and fun hazel is, and also how josh is the exact opposite of her, which provides an excellent premise for an "opposites attract" kinda trope to happen。watching their relationship progress as the book went on and getting to see things from both of their perspectives was so heartwarming bc we can just see how much hazel just grows on josh that she becomes such an integral part of his life which comes as a surprise to him, whereas the same thing happens in hazel's perspective and it's just so expected bc she has always idolised him。this was such a fun and fluffy read, and i loved every second of it! from the embarrassing yet endearing start, to the familiar comfort they find in each other, to the mutual pining and finally the big revelation, every moment was written perfectly。it's definitely getting a well-deserved spot on the list of my favourite books! 。。。more
