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!

It took me a while to not only think of Devi and Ben in Never Have I Ever, even though the pairings don’t have anything in common except for their academic rivalry. Once I got into the book I was surprisingly hooked. It’s sort of lovely and bittersweet.
I commend the author for the important discussions about feminism, female sexuality, antisemitism and consent. Sometimes the writing was a bit, hm.. on the nose and repetitive. And though the plot was predictable, the characters were lovable and the game of Howl was captivating enough that it didn’t matter.
This book and the nostalgia/“end of an era”-feeling left me unexpectedly sad haha.

I did not like the characters in this book, I thought they were boring and cliche. I also didn’t like the pop culture references throughout the book, and really just the writing style in general. I did however like some parts and mostly the devolpment of the characters and I liked that the book was in first person.

Well, after reading this book twice I can firmly say that this is one of my favorite romances ever. I absolutely adore these characters. I loved every minute of this swoony, adorable romance. I don't have anything new to say about this fantastic book. But I can say that I love this book and I want to read it all over again.

Academic rivals to lovers is one of my all-time favorite tropes, and this book did it perfectly. I quite literally devoured this book. In less than 24 hours. I'm gonna need to own this book like, now cause I can see myself rereading this over and over. I loooove these characters soooOOooOOO much. I see a lot of myself in Rowan and I loved reading about a woman I am similar to. Seriously, it makes me so happy. I can't think of a single thing I didn't like about this book. Not one. Rachel, you outdid yourself with this one. Thank you for writing this masterpiece.
