So, I really liked this book. But I wish I'd taken the note on the front cover "splash-proof beach read!" as more of a warning, because this book is totally a summer beach read - and whilst I do live at the seaside, reading a book huddled under blankets in the middle of winter makes it feel like a very different book. 
 (Also, what kind of paperback doesn't have a splash-proof cover? Like, they're all that shiny stuff that repels water normally, and the pages on this one are just paper, so..) 
 Until about halfway through, I was going to give this book three stars, because everything was a bit too cheesy and happy and everyone had their lives sorted, but the second half of the book, things definitely improved, and I feel like the humour got upped a lot too, kinda counterbalancing the slightly-less-perfect lives of the characters. 
 It isn't the book I expected (or wanted) it to be - I kinda wish there'd been more story from Avery's perspective, but I enjoyed it anyway, and definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something to read on holiday (if they're somewhere warm!)
