“A sweet meet-cute or a scheme destined to turn sour? Fake dating, family drama, and foodie fun combine in this YA paperback original.”

What a cute and easy read. I love the unique story line and characters. The banter was top tier and everything I would want in a YA romance. I laughed out loud numerous times. Add in some dysfunctional family moments and you’ve got yourself a great YA book. This was my first book by the author, but now I definitely want to read more of her works.

A very special Thank You to NetGalley, Bloomsbury YA, and the author for an e-ARC in exchange for an honest review.

what the trash was this...?
i don't think i've ever cringed this hard in my life. usually i'm all for a cheesy romance, but this just did not hit. it was like a macaroni hotdish with extra cheese. a lot of cheese.
but the noodles were soggy 🫠

Thank you for the ARC. This was a fun easy read. The conversation flowed and the banter made me chuckle. The story was refreshing and although this was my first read from this author, I would love to read more from her.

A fun high school romance! Love the cover. The banter was so good. I was getting a kick out of the writing. It definitely made me smile and laugh. This book was a first for me by this author, but I will be looking for me. This is an easy to recommend book.
