This book was such a funny and wholesome read. It definitely portrays the awkwardness of being a teenager well and what it’s like going through a lot of new experiences during this age. This made the main character feel very relatable. I appreciated the Harry and Taylor references 😆. I also liked that there was diverse representation with the main character having 2 dads. The main character also had a lot of friendships with guys such as the Princeton group that weren’t toxic and only platonic which I appreciated. I feel like this book had a semi unexpected ending compared to other romances by not following certain tropes when it came to the love interests which I liked. I listened to the audiobook version of this book and it had me laughing out loud and I was very entertained from start to finish.

The behavior from a lot of the women in this book makes me sad. There is so little communication or support, and the rivalries over men are just hard to read. As much as I want to like the plucky heroine, her whining and anxiety were a little much for me. 

I very much enjoy KL Walther and have loved some of her other books, but this one just wasn’t quite up my alley. 

2.5 stars
