First of all, I love an unapologetic fmc that put people especially men in their place. I’m not saying Vi is flawless. But all of the thing she said about girls not being taken seriously in online gaming (or anywhere that’s male-centric), and jokes that makes women uncomfortable, reminds me of the book “Invisible Women” and she’s not exaggerating. And as for Jack: Being an avid nfl fans definitely helps me to understand more of his position as the star running back of his high school football team and the pressure he had.
But enough with all that, I enjoy this book tremendously. Like, I LOVE this. The romance, friendship, mom-daughter and twin sibling relationship are all done nicely in this book. No corny plot and unnecessary third-act breakup. 5 stars for this fulfilling YA romance!

QUÉ DIVERTIDO. A veces apetece una comedia romántica de enredos juvenil en la que los adolescentes no hablan ni se comportan como adolescentes, y esto está TAN BIEN HECHO. Imaginaos 10 things I hate about you pero sin traicionar a su protagonista femenina.
Sí que se me hizo bola en algunos momentos, sobre todo cuando se narran los partidos de fútbol, hay pasajes en los que parece que la prosa se “atasca” y cuesta abrirse camino. Quizás soy solo yo. Por otro lado, si bien es verdad que ni harta de vino soy capaz de imaginarme adolescentes que se comporten como en este libro, no diría que los personajes estén mal construidos, así que puede operar perfectamente la suspensión de la incredulidad. Sus respectivas voces narrativas, además, están muy bien conseguidas y diferenciadas, cada una con sus particularidades, idiosincrasias e incluso con un sentido del humor distinto.
De hecho, lo que más me ha llamado la atención (para bien) del estilo de la autora es, sin duda, el toque sutil de humor que subyace en casi todo momento. Se nota lo suficiente como para estar sonriendo mientras lees, pero sin llegar a convertirse en una retahíla de chascarrillos que acaparen la atención y te acaben distrayendo de la aventura principal. Es exactamente el tono que hacía falta para complementar una trama así, ni más ni menos.
TL;DR: Una romCOM adolescente de las que ya no quedan, super chula y muy divertida. Se lee como un fanfic en el mejor de los sentidos. 4/5.
