Academic rivals to lovers, coming of age, eng of High School .. a scanvenger hunt to celebrate graduating that brings the academic rivals together.
This is very fast paced. Everything happens within twenty-four hours. It's very cute, heartwarming, mentions important topics but still wholesome. An easy read for in between.
Yay for Jewisch rep! And bisexual side characters!

I’ve said before that I think Rachel Lynn Solomon is one of the best YA contemporary authors, and I stand by that. Though there were a few elements that annoyed me, overall, I thought this was a really fun, quick read. I really liked Rowan and Neil and the progression of their relationship, as well as their individual character development. While I took an immediate liking to Rowan, I wasn’t sure if it was possible for me to like Neil, given that he grated on me initially—but he did, surprisingly, grow on me. His letter in her yearbook was adorable. In general, reading this just made me happy, and that’s how I know a book is good. I’d definitely recommend this one, and upon finishing, I’m quite eager to read more from Solomon.

- Mexican-Russian Jewish protagonist
- Jewish love interest and side characters
- lesbian side character
- bisexual side character
- sapphic side couple
Moderate: Antisemitism
Minor: Sexual content, Violence, and Injury/Injury detail
Antisemitism comes from side characters but is always challenged. Violence and injury details are in reference to past events, only mentioned once. As for sexual content, there’s discussion of some characters’ past experiences, but only one mild, on-page sex scene.mpbookreviews's review against another edition
