As with her other books, extraordinarily average. Cute book, would definitely read again. But it was predictable and you could tell from the beginning that this was not an enemies to lovers...if that's even what it was meant to be. Maybe it's my age (31), but I simply cannot handle the misunderstanding/hiding feelings.
recommended for a beach read and will recommend it to people for an easy cute read.

This is better than all the romcoms that I've watched.
Long review (with spoilers) -
The story is of Wes and Liz/Libby who are neighbours but have been fighting for a parking spot. Lizzy’s mom died and her thing with her mom is that they used to watch a lot of rom-coms and bond over it. Lizzy’s childhood crush Michael comes back to school and Liz is pining after him. The only way to get close to him is to go to a party and her only access to that party is through Wes. So she proposes a deal that he would get the parking spot if he agrees to take her to the party. But things go awfully wrong at the party and Wes is actually nice to her. Then she proposes a fake dating deal and therefore they spend a lot of time together. In the end she realizes that he is the one and they get together.

This book was really mid, I went in with really high expectation and it did not deliver, tiktok makes it out to be a great book everyone will love, I think you ether Love it or Hated it, I'm in the hate it category.
Liz- she was so annoying and she really pissed me off. Literally everything she did was becuse she thought her DEAD mother would want her to do and every convo she had somehow ending in talk about her DEAD mother that died like 10 YEARS ago. I get talking about it here and there and some off the feels she had but it was in EVERY chapter and she was such a shitty friend and only cared about herself and thats Parking spot
Wes- He was mid, He didnt piss me off like Liz but he was not the best book boyfriend like the internet makes him to be. I think its shitty that he parked in the parking spot just so he could see her becuse if he parked in the driver way what happend wouldn't have happed.
I think i also might not like Lynn Painter's writing style and thats ok. I would have DNF (Did not Finish) it if i wasnt reading it for school. The story line was not it for me and I would have liked it more if it had a bit of spice in it (i know its an YA Book)

Really fun read. I like the characters and the dialogue/banter felt so real. She really captured the feeling and social dynamics of high school. V cute.
