Review: Hot Mess by Emma Harr

Hot Mess by Emma Hart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this free eARC novel from the author. This is my honest review. 

This was such a fun, quick read, but about a very serious topic. Elle really handled her situation well, if you ask me. She went off the grid and collected her rights without making any rash decision. Though not telling anyone where she went was maybe not the best decision, truthfully. 

I loved seeing Elle, a person who's life is completely online, go to a town where she didn't do any interaction with the online world. So many people in today's culture are stuck online. They don't know how to go outside and live for the moment, rather than live for the next YouTube video. So this was a refreshing story along those lines! 

I think Theo's character is full of greatness. A British, single dad, living in the South... you can't get any wider than that! But he's a great guy and a fantastic dad. He was a heel to Elle at the beginning but he was protecting his daughter, so how can you blame him? 

I loved Blaire, and Charity and the 3 old women - seriously they cracked me up so much throughout this novel! It added much needed comedy throughout this very deep, serious topic. 

I also really appreciated how Theo and Elle didn't automatically jump into a physical relationship, even though both their attracting was obvious. They didn't want to make things harder in case it didn't end up on the right track. Most of the times, the characters don't think about consequences or they just don't care. Theo and Elle are different though. 

And the epilogue? Totally made me cry, it was so sweet! 

I really enjoyed this novel and I'm so glad I got a chance to read this eARC! It is a must read, and a story I won't forget anytime soon!
