Praise for this book
"ALL OF THE STARS! Is it mean to take so much pleasure in two characters bumbling their way through life? If so, call me a monster because I fell HARD for Natalie and Rob. These two imperfect humans trying (and often failing) to figure out this whole adulting thing felt so real and relatable. Flat-out fun, laugh out loud funny, and voicey as hell, this is the book I will be shoving into friends' hands this summer and demanding they fall in love with these characters, too!" - Becca Freeman
"One-Star Romance will go down in history as the most ironically named novel ever. I give five giant stars to this funny, twisty and emotionally authentic story of true love and long friendship. I absolutely adored it." - Annabel Monaghan
"Laura Hankin takes a nightmare premise for any writer--the dreaded one-star review--and with her signature charm and humor weaves it into a perfect dream." - Steven Rowley
