I found out about this book over on The Calico Books last year (you can check out her review here) and have been meaning to read it ever since. I finally picked it up this month and I’m so glad I did. This book is super sweet and cute.
Summary:
The creative writing teacher, the delivery guy, the local Starbucks baristas, his best friend, her roommate, and the squirrel in the park all have one thing in common—they believe that Gabe and Lea should get together. Lea and Gabe are in the same creative writing class. They get the same pop culture references, order the same Chinese food, and hang out in the same places. Unfortunately, Lea is reserved, Gabe has issues, and despite their initial mutual crush, it looks like they are never going to work things out. But somehow even when nothing is going on, something is happening between them, and everyone can see it. Their creative writing teacher pushes them together. The baristas at Starbucks watch their relationship like a TV show. Their bus driver tells his wife about them. The waitress at the diner automatically seats them together. Even the squirrel who lives on the college green believes in their relationship.
Surely Gabe and Lea will figure out that they are meant to be together….

Favorite things:
All the POVs. There are 14 different point of views in this book and none of them are the main characters. At first I was a little iffy about this, but as soon as I started reading it I was hooked. It was such a refreshing way for a romance novel to be written. All of the characters were so different, and it was fun to watch them ship Lea and Gabe. Also, there is some diversity in the characters in this book.
The bench and the squirrel. These two were some of my favorite povs. The bench was just so creepy. It makes me kind of second guess siting on a bench now. The squirrel was so adorable, I loved him.
It was funny. The book was so quirky and funny.
The whole thing was just sweet and light. This book isn’t heavy, it’s not one that you really have to think about. You can just enjoy it. It was a good book to get me out of reading slump and the perfect book to read on a rainy day.
