Things aren’t going well for Lydia, she’s hit a big stumble in her love life and she’s not progressing anywhere in her career. Then at New Year she’s sent on a holiday on her own to Spain to get back in touch with herself. However, after being there a day her childhood friend and longtime crush walks in and suddenly they’re going at it like rabbits and decide to make good on their pact of marrying each other if they’re both single by 30.
I’m a fan of “chick lit” (though not a fan of the name). I find these kinds of books really good as a palette cleanser when I’ve been reading a lot of fantasy and they offer that romantic contemporary vibe without too much detailed sex if you’re not in the mood or not into that.
This book was fun and a good beach read and definitely felt like your classic book of this genre. But I did have some problems with it.

What I liked most about this book is that they were actually able to be honest and vulnerable in their communication with each other. I get annoyed with miscommunication tropes in books - I don't mind a little, because it does happen in real life - but when huge misunderstandings and heartbreak happen from refusing to talk to each other, I'm like, even if the original issue was just a misunderstanding, I'm not sure how good of a couple you'll make if you don't communicate well with each other.
In any case, I thought this love story between Lydia and Danny is the sweetest thing ever. I feel like there is a definite shift in the kind of romances that appeal to the people today compared to even a few years ago, and this book makes me want more of the same! Definitely looking into Anna Bell's other books!

A fun summer read! A proper romance!

This was a cute story about two teenagers who make a pact to get married if they're both single at 30. Impulsiveness has its drawbacks, but essentially it was fun to see these two try so hard to stick to the plan. I wasn't that fond of some of the side characters, and their rudeness, but overall, it was a fun read that had some really great moments.

Very little happens. I skipped chunks of the story as I got quite bored with the padding of mundane details between anything actually happening. I almost gave up after about 60% of the book. The ending is a little better. Also, why does she hate a 3 year old so much?
