Oh my goodness this book was everything! Was it predictable? Yes it was but I. Don’t. Care.

The character development that Liz had to go through was great to read and it was nice to see her be able to move on and let new people in.

Segundo libro romántico por el mes de febrero, y honestamente fue una tristeza que no me hubiera gustado tanto como esperaba; porque yo realmente esperaba que llenara mi corazón y se convirtiera en lo mejor que he leído; pero eso no pasó.
Y es que si bien el libro toma muchos momento icónicos de las rom-coms y chico-flick más notor ...more

I've never read a book that has made me struggle to figure out how to rate it. I can't decide whether it's a 4 star read or a 5 star read.

There is so much lying, miscommunication, and school dynamics.
It was cute nonetheless.

Fake dating and enemies to lovers are two tropes that I love to read about, and the combination of these two was amazing! I love Wes, and I absolutely loved the chapters from his POV (not included in the book, but they are on Lynn Painter's website). I can't wait to read the second book Nothing Like the Movies!
