They are so cute together! To me it just felt too cliche at some parts which is why it didn’t get 5 stars.

this book has so much banter and yearning from his pov. he first time he saw her he knew she was unforgettable and when he saw her again he fell for her. it's giving he fell first she fell harder except he's definitely fallen harder for her every second. broken family × happy family, love.

Would have gave five stars but there’s a 3rd act breakup and him getting back the girl was painfully cringy!

Violet just moved against her will, living with her uncle Luke. She has sworn off jocks, but is dating captain of the hockey team, Jeremy. Violet quickly finds Jeremy cheating on her, but our Rival Darling comes to her rescue when Violet tries to get some revenge on Jeremy’s car:

“I’ve got a couple of hockey sticks in my truck if you want to do some real damage?”

I learned of this on booktok, and didn’t even read the synopsis! I recently haven’t read high school books so I just pretended they were in college.

The third act breakup really got me, and I quickly lost interest in the book. Not to mention the cringey ending…

“You can call me whatever you want, Sunshine. As long as you call me yours.”
