Alex, Approximately has been on my radar for a long time. I’ve heard so many great things about this book and Jenn Bennett in general. I’m SO glad I finally got around to reading this book. I absolutely adore it. It’s always an interesting concept when two people meet in a hate-to-love scenario, and all without realizing they’re already in love. This story is the young adult equivalent to the popular rom-com You’ve Got Mail. Though there’s plenty of differences, the main gist and feel of the story remains intact which is sure to charm all of those who love the fan favorite comedy with Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks. RELATED | YA Review: Wanderlost – A Whirlwind Tour of Past, Present, and Future I'm not sure that I'm comfortable with the way the ""trust"" conversations enfolded because somehow their trust looks very much like "you must tell me everything at all time" and what happened to keeping some kind of secret garden? Is that not allowed anymore? When I heard it was a retelling, I was like "Ouuuuuuuuuuuuuu, me is definitely interested like please sign me uppppppp!!!"

Like...I hate books that are cringey, and I hate books that are pretentious, but it’s so rare for me to get the opportunity to hate one that is BOTH! alex: Is it wrong to hate someone who used to be your best friend? Please talk me down from planning his funeral. Again.

About Kasey

An undercurrent of tension twitches between us, just for a second. He knows I’m only teasing, that I would never take that kind of risk, not after what happened to our family four years ago. But that’s in the past, and Dad and I are all about the future now. Nothing but sunshine and palm trees ahead. Bailey was also so frustrating. It was so, so obvious what was about to go down but she was so oblivious. Literally, everything was painted out for her and she just kept blinking her eyes. Even her dad, who just watched things from a far instead of living it out, saw everything coming from thirty miles away There is some of the most delicious banter ever written, swoons, heartbreak, laughs, and maybe a bit of betrayal. Not to mention a few secrets that are revealed in the slowest and agonizing way.

Whilst holding on to the Alt key, press the symbol’s alt code ( 247). You must use the numeric keypad to type the alt code. If you are using a laptop without the numeric keypad, this method may not work for you. On some laptops, there’s a hidden numeric keypad which you can enable by pressing Fn+NmLk keystrokes on the keyboard. So, remember the briefly aforementioned best friend of Porter? The one he “hates”? That best friend’s name is Davy. Davy screwed up his leg surfing so badly he still limps years later. When he was prescribed painkillers, he, like many people, became addicted to the prescription. So when the prescription ran out, he continued to (illegally) source pills. Later, like many people, he moved onto the much-more-affordable heroin. That’s an addiction that is almost impossible to break, and, we’re told, the sh*ttiness of Davy’s family life only spurs him more toward drugs. But despite all that . . . look what he did. Look what he did. For me? And he’s sitting here, in pain, falling apart, and all he’s worried about is that I’m sorry I gave him my number and don’t want to go out on a date with him? And as the summer months go by, Bailey must choose whether to cling to a dreamy online fantasy in Alex or take a risk on an imperfect reality with Porter. The choice is both simpler and more complicated than she realizes, because Porter Roth is hiding a secret of his own: Porter is Alex…Approximately.

UPDATE: I just finished watching YOU'VE GOT MAIL AND AHAHAHAHA OH MY GOD SOMEONE FANGIRL WITH ME. I'm so frigging ready to read this book now. I wish some of the things she touched upon, i.e. Davey and his drug abuse, Porter’s family, Bailey’s relationship with her mom, was expanded on more. I think it would’ve added more meat to the story and made the characters even more tangible. This is how you may type the Approximately Equal symbol on Windows using the Alt Code method. Option 2: Using the Approximately Equal Shortcut for Mac Another easy way to insert Almost Equal to Sign on any PC is to use my favorite method: copy and paste.

the plot, pacing, and setting were all fantastic. the plot was 2 separate ones interwoven which worked fantastically well and kept things interesting. the pacing never lagged. and the setting made me feel like i was there on the beach in california.Her relationship with “Alex” is super sweet and I love that she’s unaware that she’s around him all the time. Porter is a really enjoyable character and I think his dynamic with Bailey is great. The whole premise is actually super sweet and it definitely has that enemies to lovers trope that’s addictive. Porter, dear god. Why are fictional boys so damn swoon-worthy? I was getting flustered because of that boy. I liked Bailey's friend, Grace..........................I lied, I tolerated her. She's that type of friend where you'd tell her something and you'd hear it come out of someone else's mouth. Like no. What's been told to you, stays with you. Besides that, I found her pretty cool, friendly, and very nice. Also, I liked the fact that she was British and I kept reading her parts in this really posh accent. I told you, didn’t I? It’s paradise out here,” Dad says. “Everything is going to be better now. I promise, Mink.” For windows users, obey the following instructions to copy and paste the Approximately equal symbol using the character map dialog.
