I was surprised how much I enjoyed reading this. Despite all the romantic tropes, it was engaging, witty and discusses a very real issue that needs to be discussed among young men and women. It was done in a way that was not preachy or even in a very direct manner. Rather it was done in a realistic way, what you would imagine would happen to a young woman faced with what Monica had to deal with. Magan Vernon's The Only Exception is exceptional.*Thank you NetGalley and the publisher for providing the ARC in return for an honest review*
