I'm sad to say I was disappointed, it seemed like a cute, fun read but it needed some seriously strong editing and less of the slowest burn in the world.

I’m not sure how I feel about this one still. I liked it while I was reading it but I found it very forgettable. I did really like the characters and the story line.

Such a cute story and an easy read. Definitely recommend if you're looking for something lighthearted.

will give a better review later but dnf because this quite literally is one of the worst books i've read in a long time, it's taken me a year to get half way through so.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.

This book was cute and a lighthearted read. The characters had good chemistry too but a lot of the book felt rushed and there was too much going on and should just focused on one bigger problem over a lot of little issues.
Wasn't for me, sadly.

Such a well written debut novel which I devoured in 2 sittings, I was gripped and couldn't put it down! I really enjoyed Gracie and Deans relationship it was so cute, such a fab spin on the fake dating.

Predictable bool that had me twirling my hair at times nonetheless. I wish the characters weren't once again a copy-paste of the typical female main character and male love interest. The love story is cute, but that's all. Cuteness is all this book has going on for it. And it's not that I'm against that, but it can't shine in a sea full of "cute books" like chick-lit is.

I really enjoyed the story. It is such a fun and short read, where you can relate to the characters and the things that are happening to them. The writing is easy to follow and makes you want to keep on reading.

This was a really cute read and I think would be a great book to help someone dive back into reading - especially if there aren't used to romcom style books. The way the characters were written and the storyline makes this a great YA romcom book - which are honestly hard to find. Overall cute and it made me smile.

Thank you for the ARC of this book.
This story was a good read, it's likely to be aimed at a younger audience and didn't quite hit what I was hoping for but this is for no reason other than personal preference.

I enjoyed this book. It was a quick read. It was predictable and a good comfort read. I do think it could have benefited from a couple more revision passes to smooth out some of the transitions. Overall a cute book though.

Unfortunately another story that just felt mediocre. I love the cover and the premise was promising but I did not really care for the characters and their relationship. Maybe it was just not the right time for me to read this book but I have read so many great romance books in the last few months that this one was just a bit boring to me.

I found this to be a cute Ya novel with nicely written characters. A book that I will definitely recommend to those looking for a cute novel.
This is my first novel by this author and will read more from her.
Thanks again
3/5 stars

a cute, sweet, but, to be honest, entirely unimpressive debut from allie sarah here. I love this concept but the execution was subpar at best.

Book boyfriend - check, cute funny moments - check, love story you wish would happen to you - check. Romantic comedy perfection - check check! Gracie and Dean are the couple you root for, swoon worthy plot.

oh my goodness, this was the best book!! it was soooo sweet and i'm so in love with it!! as always, thank you so much to netgalley for letting me read this book early! pick it up asap!!!

This just wasn’t for me. I couldn’t keep the characters straight. Dialogue is a little immature but at the same time, these juniors in HS are talking about some adult behavior. It just didn’t all vibe together like I needed it to to continue. Also some manipulative pranks (kissing not Dean-Theo- in the library) not a fan.

Special thanks to Netgalley and SnowRidge Press for this digital ARC.

This was a cute and easy read, but seemed a bit shallow and underdeveloped in terms of characters and setting. I was really excited about the concept as it was really promising, but I felt like the execution of it left a lot to be desired. It could be that I am not the target audience for this novel anymore, but I think that there could’ve been more work done to have the story become more enjoyable and less frustrating to read. I think it just needed more polishing to fulfill its potential, but it would definitely be a good read for others.

I found this to be a cute Ya novel with nicely written characters. A book that I will definitely recommend to those looking for something to kick back and relax to.

I thought this was super cute! It's a perfect YA contemporary romance, and I enjoyed it for what it was. It wasn't super revolutionary or anything, and I do think that the author needs to work on the dialogue aspect of their writing (it felt a little too fake and scripted for me), but I think this is a really solid debut. I would definitely recommend this to teenager lovers of YA.
