Jessie reviewed You Say It First by Katie Cotugno
Review of 'You Say It First' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
I was hoping this would make a good fluffy antidote to the endless cycle of misery and despair that is the current moment, and it was exactly that. Meg and Colby's face-offs about the effectiveness of democracy, their discussions about class, and their ways of pushing each other to be better versions of themselves made this an enjoyable novel, even if it is a little light on actual romance for a romance novel. Colby and Meg are both nuanced, vivid characters it's easy to root for. Some heavy subject matter is included, but the overall feel of the novel is light and fun. Intellectually I loved how it ended, but emotionally I NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT PLEASE LET THERE BE A SEQUEL!!!
