I wasn't the biggest fan of this book. It was good but I wanted it to be I didn't want to put it down. It was a lovely idea to plan a sweet 16 for their friend but the lies they came up with weren't good, and it made it sound like they didn't want to be around her. Glad it worked out in the end and she got a baby brother.

It was cute, I liked how they put the party together. one word of advice don't ever do what they did to their friend to surprise her. I was never good at article writing, and the idea they had for dating was neat.

Playing games is a wonderful teenage rom-com, drama with lots of mystery at every turning point. Mysterio and Stacy get the limelight for their mysterious behaviour. And, the author has proven to be quite capable of keeping the reader curious until the truth is revealed. Loved the read.
