Very very cute. The main character was only sometimes slightly annoying in her inner dialogue, but the romance was both adorable and earnest, which made me kick me feet a little

I ADORED THIS BOOK! It has all the elements of a perfect YA love story — friend drama, unbelievable love triangle, parent acceptance, coming of age, and (of course) a pitch-perfect book boyfriend. I couldn't stop from racing through its pages long into the night, and was honestly sad when it was finally over. This is the kind of YA book that reminds me why I got into romance in the first place, and I'm so grateful for that.

Reread April 2024
Did a quick reread in anticipation of Nothing Like the Movies, and ahh so happy this is just as good as I remembered. Wes and Liz are an incredible couple, and I cannot get enough of them!! Truly, imagine how insufferable I’d have been if these two existed when I was in middle school or early high school. LOVE!

THE GOOD: This was my first Lynn Painter book and it's a new favourite. I'm a huge music and movie lover and I loved all the pop culture references in this book. I also loved all the bookish references. This book reminded me of the show Lizzie McGuire, and I kept picturing Liz as Lizzie, Wes as Gordo, and Michael as Ethan Craft. I also loved that it's a YA that doesn't read too YA. If you're not a fan of YA, I would still give this a chance.

THE BAD: One thing I didn't like about this book were the long chapters. There's only 19 chapters but the book is 349 pages. The story is also only told from Liz's point of view and I think if Wes's point of view had been included it would have been even better. My copy also could have used another round of editing, as there were quite a few grammar and spelling errors.

Favorite quote: "I just need to know that happily ever after really exists."
