IndieWire Kate Erbland

Thorne’s novel might be best known for its hot-and-bothered sex scenes, but she also built a romance with real stakes and big emotion, and Hutchings and his stars translate that to the big screen with ease. Why can’t every rom-com make it look so easy? Read full review

The film is very pleasant and manages to succeed in what many romantic comedies often fail to do — be entertaining and worth revisiting. Read full review

This romcom set in a Manhattan publishing house is about as bland and as easily consumed as a cone of soft-serve ice-cream on a hot day. It’s essentially a sticky extrusion of sugar, trans fats and trapped air in cinematic form. Read full review

I really enjoyable romcom. I loved the chemistry between Lucy Hale and Austin Stowell. I also think this a beautifully adapted film from the original novel and it keeps all the magic from the book. This is a must see!

A standard but successful rom-com that is greatly enlivened by the chemistry between its two leads.
