W O W.
The storyline unfolded so beautifully and the characters were for sure unforgettable.
Millie was excellent, her humor, her confidence and her intelligence really amazed me.
Reid was thoughtful and selfless, the perfect love interest who kept me on the edge of my seat with his thoughts and feelings.
As for the rest of the crew each and every one of them warmed my heart and made me anticipate their next appearance.
Perfect!

This is the newest addition to Christina Lauren's foray into the NA genre - less steamy than either Wild Seasons or Beautiful series, but still populated with cute characters in fun rom-com (read: unrealistic) situations.
Millie and her chums Reid, Alex, Ed, and Chris make a pact to try a dating app so they'll have a date to bring to the end of year conference/gala at the university they teach at. Millie's initial stab at a dating profile is inundated with gross dudes, so she decides to burn it down (metaphorically) and make a new profile using her middle name and a photo where her face is obscured. She matches with Reid and then due to a lack of clarity in her initial message proceeds to semi-inadvertently catfish him.
This was an adorable story and I enjoyed the perspectives of Millie and Reid. I wish that this was the beginning of a new series, because I felt the rest of the friend group was underserved/undeveloped and I think they could've been up to some shenanigans like the guys in CLo's past series. I can't speak from an experienced position about the online dating, but Reid's messages seemed so wonky considering he had no clue that it was Millie he was messaging - it just takes a little extra belief suspension to deal with, though.
I would recommend this novel to rom-com fans, and anyone who was disappointed in the movie Sierra Burgess is a Loser - this story is what that film should've been.
Thank you to NetGalley providing me with an e-arc of My Favourite Half-Night Stand - this is no way influenced my review.

Easy perfect read for someone going through online dating. Funny, loveable and hilarious.. it has it all.
