my review
One of six novellas in the Amazon Original Stories collection, this felt like any Christina Lauren novel with interesting character and lots of witty banter. Even the meet-cute in this was quirky, albeit a tad improbable. The chemistry between Jude and Veronica was equal parts romantic and hilarious. My only complaint was that Veronica often came off as a little on the juvenile side. But if this had been longer, I might not feel the same way, with more pages to more fully develop her character.
