I really liked the beginning of this book and overall it was okay but I just really found Aubrey to be a pretty unlikeable Heroine. Thank you to netgalley for the ARC.

Thanks to the publisher for providing an eARC of Five Ways to Fall Out of Love in exchange for an honest review.

Guys. I was so ready to be able to be like "Ha! Look! I can give straight-led feel-good contemporary high ratings! But a few chapters in to loving this I found out one of the halves of the main couple is bi so... opps. Look, I have a type and I'm owning it, okay?

Anyways, this was so cute! Tropey? Yeah. Of course. But I think that's the selling point here. Five Ways to Fall Out of Love gives us a cynical perspective character who's given up on love. We have miscommunications. Enemies to lovers. Will they won't they. It's a beautiful mixture of all your fav YA fluff tropes and it was such a fun, light read.

Also, our perspective character manages to be awkward & dog loving & overly-relatable to 'quirky' teen girl readings WITHOUT her or any other character bashing on her entire gender to try and make her seem special? Imagine that.

So I really enjoyed this book, although I wanted to shake some sense into Aubrey on several occasions. Her self-sabotage was obvious to everyone but herself, and cause her so much more turmoil than she needed to suffer. That said, I still enjoyed the story and seeing her grow as a person. Plus Webster makes a pretty good boy-next-door.

If you love friends to enemies to lovers you will love this. It’s rare to find a book where you like all the characters but I’ve found it! Never dull and I finished it in one sitting. Also loved the bisexual love interest.
