I’m a sucker for cheesy teen rom-coms so this was fun and cute. I loved the diverse group of friends, and the lessons learned along the way within each relationship. Irene was a piece of work, but you come to understand why she’s so uptight about her responsibilities. Scottie just needed to learn to love and respect herself instead of putting so much faith into a person who didn’t have the same for her in return. The grace that was given on both sides was very mature for what I’d expect from a teenager. I loved it

This is such an amazing, cute, queer romcom! I loved it so much. Even though it‘s a bit goofy and funny, the characters are very relatable and the book also touches on some deeper topics like self worth, internalized homophobia and emotional growth. It also handles the different sides of a toxic relationship really well.

👌 Fake Dating
🫶 Enemies to Lovers 
🎀Cheerleader x 🏀 Basketball Player

This book was such a cliché but in such a good way.  I loved the characters and friendships in this book so much.  Irene and Honey-Belle though were my favorite characters.

The fake dating trope with a lovely dash of enemies to lovers made it even better.  The banter between Scottie and Irene was always amusing.

This is a cute lighthearted read that deals with getting over past relationships and doing things because you want to, and not because you have something to prove.  It was lovely!

It’s cute and fairly unoriginal, the plot was the same as every fake dating trope, but that doesn’t mean it was bad. I liked the characters growth shows that growth isn’t always eventful or easy. If you like unstressful predictable books you should definitely pick this up!

The main character, Scottie, is just... Oof. If I had a friend like that, I'd stop being her friend real fast.
I wasn't expecting this to have the trope Fake Dating, too. I usually don't mind it, but the way they started the fake relationship rubbed me the wrong way.
Scottie just manipulated Irene so she pretended to date her, and then crossed clear boundaries just to make her ex jealous. Fuck no.

So yeah, I dropped it.
