Omg I absolutely loved this book, and I don’t usually read romance books. I mainly read it as a subplot because I don’t enjoy it that much but THIS.

It had everything; rom-com movie references, song of references. And even a soundtrack (not an actual separate book soundtrack, a playlist) enemies to lovers which I is my favourite trope. Cute banter. In a way, second chance AND fake dating. I might have found Liz (the main character) a little delusional at times but I relate to her, in a way.

„Enemies to lovers it’s our trope, buxbaum“

Such a fun and cute read. The characters r pretty realistic which I really liked but they also annoyed me sometimes ngl. I actually thought that Taylor would be mentioned way more sadly. Those chapters r way to long for a romcom especially the one with around 60 pages like who thought that would be a good idea.
I also feel like this is a really good but if u want to get into reading.

I finished this baby and it was literally one of the best reading experiences I had in a while.
Partly because it is so witty, so charming and sweet, but also because of all the rom-com references, the way she romanticizes life the fullest, I just adore it. She is soooo cute and WES, he is my dream man. Please marry me and ugh, I cannot. He is so fun, such a gentleman, he is everything.🥺
But what made this a 5 star read for me is for sure because my best friend annotated it for me🥺🥹 and reading th

this book absolutely got me out of a 2 year reading slump!!!! I loved nearly every second of it. No book has ever been able to make me cry but i felt so involved in the story that even I got a tear or two.

Honestly felt like a breath of fresh air!!

“enemies-to-lovers—it’s our trope, buxbaum.”

why did it take me so long to read this?? for a rom-com lover this was the perfect and cutest read for me.

but the saddest part is that my expectations are soooo high right now - wes bennett is just perfect I WANT A WES BENNETT. who doesn’t want a funny & caring boyfriend?? *crying*

i feel like a mess now i finished it and i don’t know how to move on with my life. but it’s kinda sad (now that the sequel is confirmed) that the story is getting kinda dest

I always want to read this book, however, I never even read the synopsis 🫥 so I was kinda shocked when it turned out to be a high school romance, because this trope isn’t really my thing. but the characters truly caught me, when I wanted to realise I couldn’t put the book down.
it’s sweet and sooo cliche, it touches some issues like mourning, but in general is really lighthearted.
i loved liz’s character because she is just a teenage girl who has a deep obsession with romcoms, finding her true l
