This is the first book I’ve read that accurately depicts high school love. From the wearing your crushes sports hoodie all the way down to groaning about writing a reflective essay about the yellow wallpaper, I felt like I was back in high school. 5/5 stars and definitely recommend!

I’m not that into romcoms, but this book made me think that they might be worth getting into. This whole book was just so cute, and I totally fell in love with all the characters. Every conversation of Liz and Wes made me actually smile and laugh and kick my feet, and it felt like a throwback to when I was on my bed at 11 p.m. reading cheesy little Wattpad Jily fanfictions. However, there was definitely some room for improvements (there probably always will be, with every book) and even two people love to see Wes as their newfound holy spirit and declared In-between by Gracie Abrams as “their song”, I really couldn’t see it. It was cute, and fun, and playful, and definitely great, just not THAT great.

What can I say. I'm a sucker for a good story! I fully felt everything Liz felt. We laughed, we cried, ...
What a read! 4 ⭐ for sure!

i was a little disappointed of liz because of her attitude and on how she handle conflicts. i get that she was grieving but i did not like the fact that she's hurting the people around her. she was so blinded by her "Mom would've understood me." or "Mom would've cheered for me." bit. no girl, she would've been disappointed cuz of your actions. imagine, she kissed wes, then the next day, she agreed to michael's promposal. what was that? i also did not like that she kept on lying to her best friend! at this point, i'm just grilling her haha. but, i think she knows what she's doing naman. it was mentioned a couple of times that she's aware of her bad decisions yet, i'm confused on why she kept on going.

the book is also lacking of character development for liz. i think she deserved that.

anyways, overall this book is great. i just didn't like liz that much. but wes? wes is soooo fine!! i was confused when he did a full 180 on his personality. he was really immature at the start of the story (kinda annoying me actually) then when liz proposed the "fake dating" plan he was suddenly very charming and attractive. 

i know my rating is still very high even though i expressed my disappointment on liz. but i did enjoy the book. it's funny and the banters is really good.
