This was such a sweet funny novel. It gave off The Big A meets legally blonde-esque vibes to me. A strong protagonist who provides all the comic relief which is refreshing. She grew up taking criticism and learned her lesson well and believably. Ive been so sick of reading books where the heroine is so annoying you wish you knew what the author was in her right mind. It makes me begrudgingly read the entire Sometimes series just to see if she grows along the way. Spoiler alert 80% of the time she doesn't and the entire secondary characters along with the love interests ars head over heels fof a girl with absolutely no good qualities. This story wasn't by all means unique but it was predictive in a well-structured on your toes expectant way and I'd take a funny lol lol-type quirky âjournalistâ in place of a whiny self self-victimized vampire hybrid any day.. I highly recommend to all who just wanna lay back and listen to an extremely talented narrator read a light book with guaranteed lol moments
