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?

Cute, fun little story。 Was an easy listen, although it was read by two different people, switching between the two main characters point of view, the male voice was a little awkward and sometimes made it feel like the female character was two different people。

Got to 35% before I dnf'd。 I wanted to like it。。。 the first chapter started out with me loving Hazel, but then she just became too much。。。 she was so "eccentric and quirky" that I no longer related to her at all, and was unsure what Josh brought to the table besides being hot。 Got to 35% before I dnf'd。 I wanted to like it。。。 the first chapter started out with me loving Hazel, but then she just became too much。。。 she was so "eccentric and quirky" that I no longer related to her at all, and was unsure what Josh brought to the table besides being hot。 。。。more

I LOVED THIS BOOK。 Finished it in a day。 Always a good sign when you can’t put it down。 I loved Josh and Hazel so much。 This was such a fun read。 It actually had me laughing out loud at times。 I love a friends to lovers story。 Gets me every time and this story was just perfect。 I got spoiled for it on。 TikTok review but it honestly just made me want to read the book even more。 Definitely going on my favorites shelf!

Loved the story and the characters。

This book was literally amazing! It actually made me laugh which was really fun since that normally doesn't happen。 I loved the premise of Josh and Hazels friends-to-lovers relationship and the way it all turned out was super cute, however, I didn't really like the time skip at the end, it confused me a little bit。 Other than that, I think it was an excellent book!

I think we can all agree that the twist by the end (view spoiler)[out of all the possible cards you could've pulled, it just had to be the preggy card, huh (hide spoiler)] is easily the most ewww thing about this book。 Also, I don't like Hazel, I know- it surprised me too。 I think we can all agree that the twist by the end (view spoiler)[out of all the possible cards you could've pulled, it just had to be the preggy card, huh (hide spoiler)] is easily the most ewww thing about this book。 Also, I don't like Hazel, I know- it surprised me too。 。。。more

If i were to get super specific, this could be a 3。75 star but we’ll call it 4。

Fun and funny - I loved the voices and style of this。 It was funny and endearing, and the characters were just as funny/unique/endearing。 I felt like a certain plot point in the last like 20 pages was reallllly unnecessary and really just for drama sake, BUT everything else was cute and it made for a sweet, breezy read。 (Also that cover tho。 😍)

Jessica Sandman

Any book that I read in one evening deserves at least 4 stars。 I laughed out loud many times, and I loved the story of Josh and Hazel。 Christina Lauren has a way of writing light-hearted rom coms that draw you in and give you all the feelings。 It’s not too kitschy or unbelievable, just a fun and enjoyable escape!

Julie

I love, love, love Christina Lauren books。 Such fun stories。 And, this one might be one of my favorites! ❤️📚

Karina

Put a smile on my face!Such great descriptions of both characters - that I fell in love with both。 Made me feel like I’m watching a movie (a good one) - rather than reading。It reminded me of the butterflies one feels when starting a relationship and all is new and fun! This book definitely made me go through all the emotions。 Just read it and enjoy!

“I learned a very important thing that day: my mom would never try to change for a man, and I wouldn't, either。”Every single time someone tries to tell me that “friends to lovers” is boring, i’m not even going to engage。 I’ll just pull up a picture of this book and say: “read this”。 Josh and Hazel are such a cute couple, and I don’t have any complaints other than the ending being a little too cliche for me。 “I learned a very important thing that day: my mom would never try to change for a man, and I wouldn't, either。”Every single time someone tries to tell me that “friends to lovers” is boring, i’m not even going to engage。 I’ll just pull up a picture of this book and say: “read this”。 Josh and Hazel are such a cute couple, and I don’t have any complaints other than the ending being a little too cliche for me。 。。。more

I enjoyed reading this book。 It has great characters, it’s easy to read, funny, and romantic。 Hazel and Josh met in college when they were young。 Years later they bump into each other again, Hazel’s best friend happens to Josh’s sister。 They both end up single and help each other by arranging blind dates。 I got a great laugh reading this book, I loved it。

*3,5 i honestly loved it so so much hazeljosh really owned my heart, i was going to rate them 4,5 but the ending i can’t help it but **👀** is just my least favorite trope

Emily

It seems like Josh and Hazel never have to work。Very cheesy。Also I didn’t like the male narrator’s female voices AT ALL。

Mou Mucha

I can feel that the authors wrote this happily。 Its so fun。

Quirky characters, a quick entertaining (even though predictable!) story, a nice happy ending。

I LOVED THIS BOOK! I started listening to it one day and I finished it the next, I just couldn't put it down。 I loved these characters from the start。 Hazel is quirky and lovable and Josh is serious and super sweet。 It was so fun and honestly, not a huge cheese factor。 Just a great story。I loved the dynamic of their friends to lovers relationship from the beginning。 And OH the chemistry! It felt so genuine that you could feel the attraction growing。 And then it got steamy。 Oh。 Yes。 I was giggly I LOVED THIS BOOK!

This one just made me happy。Oh and the audio version is just hilarious。 The male narrator also does the girls voice in his chapters and the female narrator also does the male voice in hers。 I was just dying。 I'd definitely get it on audio。 。。。more

Such a fun, quick read that I’m sure I will revisit again。 If I could give this more than five stars, I would! 。。。more
