Loved the diversity! Very cute F/F sports romance for the YA audience. I love that this is an age-appropriate YA, not a YA written for an adult audience. Parts of this are super over-the-top, mainly the naming convention, but the author did intend it that way and says so in the authors note at the end. Even so, it was so cheesy sometimes I rolled my eyes. I really loved the supportive families that both main characters were surrounded by.

This is such an amazing, cute, queer romcom! I loved it so much. Even though it‘s a bit goofy and funny, the characters are very relatable and the book also touches on some deeper topics like self worth, internalized homophobia and emotional growth. It also handles the different sides of a toxic relationship really well.

👌 Fake Dating
🫶 Enemies to Lovers 
🎀Cheerleader x 🏀 Basketball Player

This book was such a cliché but in such a good way.  I loved the characters and friendships in this book so much.  Irene and Honey-Belle though were my favorite characters.

The fake dating trope with a lovely dash of enemies to lovers made it even better.  The banter between Scottie and Irene was always amusing.

This is a cute lighthearted read that deals with getting over past relationships and doing things because you want to, and not because you have something to prove.  It was lovely!

Release Date: 20, April 2021
POV: First Person 
Rep: Lesbian (MC), Queer South Asian (LI), LGBTQIA+ (SCs), BIPOC (SCs)

It was good, not as good as I thought it was going to be, but it has some really good upsides. I really liked most of the characters and it was a fun and easy read. Story felt kinda rushed and the pacing was a bit off, but those were the only big issues I had.
Didn’t really care for Scottie as a person though.

It’s cute and fairly unoriginal, the plot was the same as every fake dating trope, but that doesn’t mean it was bad. I liked the characters growth shows that growth isn’t always eventful or easy. If you like unstressful predictable books you should definitely pick this up!
