I really enjoyed this book. It was really cute and honest. There was also lots of representation for BIPOC and the LGBTQ+ community. The main character was multi-racial, and even though the book was set in Denver, Colorado, a predominantly white town, there was still lots of diversity in every scene. I also really liked how another character was able to experience with pronouns and decided on e/em pronouns. I think that neopronouns should be normalized in books and media and it's important to have representation for nonbinary individuals who don't use he/she/they pronouns. The main character, Noah, learned a ton throughout the series, not only about himself, but also about his blog (the Meet Cute Diary), and he also learned about friendships and relationships. I think this book accomplished exactly what the title says it will: be a cute book that reads a bit like a diary about a boy and the people he meets. I would definitely recommend this book because to YA romance readers, but I think the book can also be seen as more of a coming of age book than a romance. Overall, this book was a super fun and adorable read that I think will be a loved by many YA readers.

Loved it! So, so adorable. It was wonderful to read a trans romcom from an ownvoices author. So romantic, with all the best tropes. An all around good read.

The trans rom com fake dating trope (with a twist) story I never knew I wanted, but clearly always needed.
