I received an ARC via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
This was my first Addie Woolridge book and I really enjoyed it. The cover and the book description intrigued me especially it being about two schools merging together, something I haven't read in a book before. This was a light-hearted read and definitely can be seen as what some might call, a palate cleanser, after reading heavier or boring books.
Meg can be someone really relatable, as she's class president and is a stem major, but also someone who is grieving the loss of a parent. Even with this in mind, it never gets too emotional when someone stops reading it from being too heavy. I loved seeing Meg and Chris' relationship blossom and see how they come together for the same ultimate goal.
Overall I would recommend this book for anyone looking for a YA read that is lighthearted romance!

Sooooooo cute & way more heartfelt than it needed to be for the genre. The scenes about grief nearly had me in tears several times. The characters we're lived in and Im still rooting for them even though the story is done. My only qualm is that the pranks were unrealistic. That school would have cameras lol. Very sweet. Very innocent. Very well written. 

But where is the sequel about Russ finding love???!?!

This was a very cute and fluffy read. I enjoyed all the interactions between Chris and Meg. It was fun seeing them start out as rivals and come together for the sake of the junior class getting use to the new combined school. They made me wish I had this kind of experience in high school lol

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This story follows Megan and Chris ( so thought of the family guy when I started reading this). They are name co class president after their schools are merged together. Their goal is to squash the beef/ prank war going on between the two combined schools. Sparks fly as the pair spend more time together and their mutual crush turns into more. This was my first read from this author and it did not disappoint. It was super cute and I definitely can see myself reading more from this author in the future.

Thank you Random House Children's, Underlined and NetGalley for the opportunity to read this ebook in exchange for an honest review.
