I felt like I was a kid reading under the covers again with this one! I loved the Sadie and Julius, and I thought Liang’s scope of the novel was perfect. ERG. This was a Louisa recommendation, and I ate it up. (Which is weird because normally academic rivals don’t do it for me!)

OMGGGGGGG. that's all i have to say. this was so slow burn and i was so thankful that it was executed well. it's giving a 16 episode kdrama where they bicker for 15 episodes and then kiss in the last 10 minutes and i love that. even though you can kind of tell where the story is going, i honestly felt occasional uncertainty of whether or not feels were reciprocated. the bickering and the subplots really added to the overall plot and i never felt like it was straying away from the main point of the story.

as a people pleaser myself, i really relate to sadie. i'd bend backwards to please people, always sending my notes, etc etc so i felt protective of her. the relationship between her and my mom reminded me of that between my mom and i. like sadie thinking that she'd get in trouble for partying and her mom was like naur ive been waiting for this moment LOL that was so me and my mom with relationships and my mom being like "girl when r u going to get in one" and i was like ??? i didn't think you'd want me to? and then she was like actually i had tons of boyfriends in high school and i want to talk about boys with you but you never show interest. LMFAO so asian mother coded. (this is over sharing but in reality who will actually see this review)

the ending was such a cute full circle moment and i felt so kilig for them! it was very sweet and wholesome and i highly recommend

"For ten years, I thought I was preparing to destroy you, when really I was preparing to love you.
All of which is to say I hope this finds you.
And I hope you find me too.” 

If you are a hopeless romantic that loves k-dramas, especially ones that recreates the feelings of puppy love and first crushes, this book is for you. I absolutely adore a rivals-to-lovers romance and Ann Liang delivered it so wonderfully with her lyrical writing and her sentimental romantic moments. There were a multitude of cute push and pull scenes that had me kicking my feet and giggling the whole time I was reading the book. Julius is one of the sweetest and wittiest MMCs, and Sadie is so introspective and relatable in her need to be a try hard people pleaser. They both have such a playful yet competitive relationship that really make their chemistry shine.

Unlike most romcom books, I like how you actually grow to really like the characters as people. It definitely was heavy on the cliches though.
