I loved this book, I really really did but I didn't give it 5 stars for the things I'm going to explain.

Yet, it's totally worth to give chance in my opinion, it not a perfect book, but its funny and light to read. It's really nice if you are looking for something to enjoy

When I started it, I threw me off it was first pov (I hate it) but it didn't stop me.

The first thing I noticed was the writing, it was nice and easy to follow along.
It wasn't so hard to differentiate the main characters speeches.

I honestly find it hard to say good things because I enjoyed it a lot and I don't know how to put them into words. I just remembered having to stop reading to compose myself because of how much I was smiling.

Yet, I'll point out a some stuff that I didn't enjoy anyways.

- I felt some things were left undone or rushed, for example Emma feelings of unworthiness. They were mentioned a lot as internal thought but she barely talked about them. It seems like she never got ride of the idea she wasn't enough and the book ended. Maybe it was part of the plan, idk.
- I have conflicted feelings about Sophia accepting being in a relationship after despiting the idea so much. Through all the book we see how much she hates love (a bit forced to my opinion), she lost a friend to it and suddenly she got it bad for a girl to step over her ideas? I mean, she learns and understand loves it's not always meant to end tragic but I would like if they explored more the subject of the disgust towards dating.
- The make up after the fighting, felt poor (but at the same time realistic)
- now my biggest complain.... It ended too quickly (not rushed), I was at 97,5% and they still got to get together. It was an understatement to say I was in distress. I wish they showed us more of their relationship as a couple like they did with the side-couples.

Overall I enjoyed it, a lot.
I ended it in 6 hours (2 days). I feel really proud of myself.
I hope my next reading it's like this one.

This was a sweet and easy read! I loved the enemies to lovers romance from Emma and Sophia and how they both had their own struggles. I can recommend this book if you want a quick sapphic read which makes you giggle and kick your feet.

the amount of times the phrase “i swallow” was used in this book was extremely infuriating.

Me costó bastante engancharme con la lectura. Los libros de romance necesitas conectar con la relación y asu vez con los personajues de forma individual, y acá eso es complicado, porque las dos protagonistas son irritantes y con personalidades bastante desagradables.
Emma es egoísta e infantil, no parece de 17 sino que de 12, no piensa nada más que en ella, lo que ella siente, quiere y le gusta, y arrastra a todo el mundo en sus fantasías idílicas de lo que es el romance. Y si, entiendo eso de "enamorarse del amor romántico" como te lo pintan en la tele, pero ella lo pasa a la realidad, y simplemente es triste de ver, más cuando la autora no lo pone, sino hasta el final, como algo malo, sino como una cosa tierna que Emma hace. Y no es tierno usar a tus amigos y familiares como ships.
Sophia tampoco es lo mejorcito del mundo, es irritante al inicio, pero tiene un arco de personaje, un crecimiento, y sin duda es la que más me gustó de las dos. Es la que de verdad tenía un problema y un trauma, y lo pudo superar.
La relación de ellas dos es bonita, pero bastante meh, porque siento que Sophia pone todo de si, y Emma espera sentada a que las cosas pasen, cuando Emma es la piba privilegiada a la que nunca le pasó nada en la vida.
Creo que esa es la peor parte del libro, como Emma es una víctima constante de... Qué? Es lo que me pregunto. Emma tiene una vida cómoda, en una ciudad, es blanca, es clase media, tiene amigos, es bonita, los padres la aman y la apoyan en todo, y se nota a legüas que ser bi en su vida no es, en esencia, un problema, porque se sabe que los padres lo van a aceptar. No tiene un conflicto, pero es la reina del drama, y lo peor, es que toma los conflictos de los demás, como si fueran nada, y esto lo hace particularmente con Sophia.
Odie mucho a Emma por eso, porque sí, ser parte de la comunidad LGBTQ+ es difícil, but, no es lo mismo si sos de clase baja, de una minoría racial, etc, etc. Y Emma no es nada de eso. Y es molesto tomar el "ser bi" como si fuera el drama de tu vida, cuando jamás, en ningún momento, ser bi le trajo una complicación a Emma.
En fin, me quedo con el cute romance que hubo entre las dos y nada más, porque después ni ellas me gustaron, ni los personajes secundarios, Tom fue plano hasta decir basta, Maryah estaba pintada, Matt solo existía para generar drama estúpido y Kate, la santa Kate, que la pintaron como "la mejor persona del mundo" todo el tiempo, y era agrasiva, mentirosa y al final del libro, violenta. Jodeme. Si hubo un personaje que odié más que Emma, sin duda fue Kate.
Lo recomiendo para pasar el rato, pero la verdad, hay mejores girl love stories allá afuera, que este. Lo mejor del libro, la portada, que es preciosa.

This book was SO cute! Such a fun little read I loved the friendships between one another and how the two of them came together.
