Tom is clearly just a kid who tried some stuff, found success, wound up being an indelible part of every millennial's psyche, navigated some bumps in the road, and now he's just doing whatever he wants. Love that for him....more

This was so much fun. Saffy is a sneaky serial killer and socialite who has zero tolerance for bad men. When she develops a monster crush on Jon, a true crime podcaster with a pretty good track record and some sort of magnetism to serial killers... you see where this is going.
As much as I enjoyed this, I'm holding off on the 5-star rating because of what the protagonist did to the dog. Also the opening scene was ehhhhhh not my favorite. Thankfully, that's the extent of the animal and child abuse. All the rest is deserved.

Serena only does one night stands for fear of losing herself in a man, but wouldn't you know it, she ends up in a CERN-induced Freaky Friday situation with a guy who read way too much into their meetcute. It gets a little more complicated when Serena and Henry have family things come up and they're suddenly forced to *truly* understand each other.
It was a little tricky keeping track of who was who when, and I really expected -- well, anyway, this "walk a mile in your shoes" romance was adorable, clever, and full of smiles. Too much tea, but a lot of refreshing banter.
