I absolutely loved this book! I haven't read a book so fast in so long, I found myself nearly instantly falling for the characters and relating to all of them in different ways. This might be my all-time favorite book by Becky Albertalli! It's a very fluffy book that mos of the time leaves you feeling all warm on the inside. Very well written as I felt like I perfectly understood everything going on in not only Kate's mind but also her best friend Anderson's. The friendships felt real and honest.
The chapters are very short and its a very easy read, easily a book you can read in the span of one day, even if you're a slow reader

This book was absolutely adorable to the point that heart eyes were coming out of my face at the end.

This is a story about Kate, who consistently only develops crushes to the same people that her best friend, Anderson has crushes on.  But when a camp crush follows them back to school, it turns into something more for both of them and will test their friendship.  With the background of a school musical and an adorable friend squad and cast of supporting characters, I absolutely loved this!

I wasn't in love with this instantly. It took me a little while to really enjoy the characters, but once they started growing and developing I liked them more. I loved Noah and thought he was so adorable. I was a little hesitant about the way the theater kids referred to the jocks, but I honestly think they learned that there was more to people by the end, so that ended up being fine!

Anyway, this book was super cute and I loved it!
