I loved this so much oh my god. This is literally everything I wanted. One of my favourite YA series is Geekerella and this is basically a rivals-to-lovers version, and I'm obsessed.

I won’t lie, I’m a little disappointed by how this novel turned out to the point I skim read the last 30 pages.
I’m just going to list some pros and cons as I can’t be bothered to fully review the book.
Pros
. Great enemies to lovers build up
. Wesley Clarke
. Family bond
Cons
. The writing is super choppy
. Dialogue from the show and fandom reviews were pointless and added nothing to the book
. Stella had no growth. She was a stuck up snob until the very end. She showed no appreciation for her family and judged how her sister lived.

I am a fan of academic rivals to lovers. So, obv, I desperately wanted to like Tate's book, but it was just too much. After debating how many stars I should give this book, I am going with 2.

I loved Meredith Tate’s book Red Labyrinth, and I know Shipped is completely different from that book, but I knew I wanted to read more books by her and I’m glad I got the opportunity to read this book! Thank you to NetGalley, Meredith Tate, and the publishers for a free e-arc of Shipped in exchange for an honest review.
Shipped is exactly like You’ve Got Mail with a Comic-Con twist to it. I loved the rivalry between Stella and Wes. They were hilarious with the pranks they would pull on each other, not realizing they’re actually conversing on an online forum on a regular basis and becoming fast friends on there because of their love for the same canceled sci-fi show. What I especially loved was how their relationship developed outside of the online forum. I mean these two are honest to goodness enemies, or major rivals in school, and to see how it sloooowly changed was wonderful to read. And to read how obsessed they are with the same show, and how they’re each trying to figure out who the other person is on the online forum was great! The hopes they had of who each may be and to find out who it really is was quite fun to read. Normally I’m not a fan of overachievers. They tend to annoy me, but I love how tough Stella is and how she wouldn’t let this boy scare her off. Whatever prank he executed, she’d give right back. And Wes is just a good guy despite his life at home, I mean I don’t know how he could stand being around his parents, I wanted to smack them that’s for sure
