Taylor Swift songs: “you’re on your own kid”, “you are in love”, “treacherous (tv)”

YA adaptation of “When Harry Met Sally” meets “10 things I hate about you”, with dual pov, enemies to friends to lovers, fake dating, grumpy/sunshine, and TONS of Taylor Swift references!!

I devoured this book honestly, it was such a fun and lighthearted read!! I was hooked by the first chapter, and the entire thing was such a joy to experience. I honestly liked this more than the movie of “When Harry met Sally” because we get the dual POVs in this book, so we see what both of the characters are thinking and discover along with each of them how they feel about each other, it just hits so much harder this way. 

I really love and relate to Charlie’s character so much!! He is a cynic/grumpy but is actually the sweetest softest cinnamon roll boy on the outside, I love him so much, he is precious. And their banter??? Loved it!! 

If you know me or have seen my reviews or videos at all, you know I love Lynn Painter, and this was no exception. It was an amazing book, and I enjoyed every second of it! My book is so highlighted and annotated!! 

For everyone wondering, we do have an equivalent of the iconic “She isn’t you” from “Better than the Movies”!! 

I am so beyond grateful and honored that I got to read this six months early!! And not only that, but my bestie Lynn sent me a copy herself and signed it, which was the sweetest kindest thing ever. (This in no way influenced my review, my review is 100% honest, I just thought I would add how kind the author is!) 

Age rating: 13+ (language, not spicy)
