While this book ended better than it started, I just wasn’t a huge fan of the story. In all honesty I mainly just skim read most of the book because I was so bored and not interested. I was hoping to enjoy this more much more than I did but unfortunately that just didn’t happen.

I. LOVE. THIS. BOOK!!! I literally did not stop jumping up and down after I finished reading this. It took me at least an hour to calm down. NO JOKE.
To be honest, I'm not actually that familiar with [a:Emily Wibberley|10788120|Emily Wibberley|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1519955999p2/10788120.jpg]'s works, but after reading this, I promised myself to buy more of her books.
First of all, THE COVER. Oh my God. This cover is amazing! The cover was the thing that drew me to purchase this book, and may I say, it did not disappoint. Beautiful cover, beautiful story, and you know what else? AMAZING characters.
We have the main character, Megan Harper, who as other people refer to, a slut. Personally for me, I'm not even close to referring to her as a slut, because there's more to this girl than that. First of all, just because she's had her fair share of boy's company and is a very flirtatious girl doesn't mean she's a slut. She's not even the one breaking up with her boyfriends! It just so happens to be that every guy she ends up being with dumps her for another girl (and boy;) ), and she just moves on then finds herself in another relationship, and guess what? The same cycle happens again. IT IS SO NOT HER FAULT. I guess people just get used to seeing her with so many different guys that she gets referred to as a slut. But in reality, she just happens to like another boy then ends up being dumped, and then moves on to another relationship. THAT'S NORMAL. What, do you expect someone to get dumped and not have a relationship again? Turn eighty with no kids? Uh, impossible. But yes, there's no denying that she tends to flirt with really hot guys all the time, but it's not like she's inviting every hot 'single' guys she sees over to her room. Now that's what I'd call a slut.
Megan is a really pretty and thoughtful girl, and I enjoyed reading this book from her point of view. She has parents that are divorced and is currently living with his dad and his pregnant girlfriend, Rose, and her cute little baby stepsister. And then we have her mom, who's in Texas living with her boyfriend, Randall. There were times that she was facing problems in her family, like moving and other stuff, but this book mostly focuses on finding someone who could finally love Megan for who she is, who could make her heart flutter and finally tell herself, 'Hell, I'm in love!' And then that leads to my favorite character in this book, Owen Okita.
Owen is oh-so-amazing! I find myself also falling for this shy, caring, and boyfriend material boy. Owen is (sigh) my dream boyfriend. Personally, I'd settle for hot bad boys, but I would't think twice to say yes if Owen would date me. His looks weren't over-the-top in this book, but I do know for a fact that he is handsome, but I wouldn't actually care because of his personality. Owen is a boy who is so easy to love, and I just—I love him. I love the fact that he's a shy little six foot baby, I love his hair, that he's part Asian, that he blushes all the freaking time, that he gets embarrassed easily, especially when Megan flirts with him. Just—literally just everything about this boy.
There are also more different characters in this book, like Madeline, her best friend who's in a relationship with Megan's ex, Tyler, and as Megan refers to them, they're the perfect couple.
Anthony, Megan's ex that turned out wasn't straight at all,
Cosima, Owen's girlfriend that lives in Italy,
Will, or Billy, whatever, a hot boy that Megan's crushing on,
Jody, her let's call theater teacher (because I have no idea what you're supposed to call her),
Sam, Owen's brother,
and many more characters that I won't write in here because I'm too lazy.
You know what I love most here? The fact that Megan and Owen started as friends. I even love the flirting, which Owen'll get a hang on and will also do, and the Shakespeare stuff (I'm sorry I really am not a fan with those), meaning the Romeo and Juliet play. I love that Megan finally found her inner Juliet (and her Romeo, hihi). I love how their relationship evolved, and reading about that is something that I'll always enjoy.
I love everything about this book, and I can't fit into words how happy I am to have been able to read an outstanding, cute, and gush-worthy book that'll leave me screaming like this.
I love love love love (and another love 3000×) this book.
You won't regret reading this. I promise.

I’m thinking 3.5/4 Stars. Not quite sure yet it still needs to brew a bit. I thought this was a cute story. Easily relatable and I appreciated that the teens weren’t treated as kids but young adults.

I read this for our book of the month! At first, I was thrown off with Megan, like literally the first page. However, my friends said I should continue it and see what happens —and I’m so glad I listened!
I ended up loving the premise, and how it wasn’t all rainbows and smiles. It’s got the right amount of humour.

Megan is the flawed, sarcastic sexually-liberated main character I’ve been waiting for. This book was adorable.

FIVE STARS!!!!!
I love the story build-up. Unlike many recently written books, the characters didn't automatically meet and get together. Their love story progressed until a point where the author felt it was time to show something. We were anticipating when they would kiss or get closer but it took a while before they did. One of the reason I enjoyed this book was due to the build-up, great story lines, perfectly written, and it was just really amazing.

I enjoyed the focus on Shakespeare throughout; however, overall, I felt this book was fairly average.

This book was cute but by no means a favorite. The cover is amazing, but misleading in my opinion. I can’t fully put my finger on why though.
Plot: I thought this book had a great concept, but I feel like it fell a little short of it’s potential. The plot was very predictable and I called pretty much everything way before it happened. The only reason I enjoyed this book was because of my love of Shakespeare, the theater nostalgia, and the cute friend to love romance.
Characters: I found it hard to get into the book at first because I really couldn’t connect with Meghan. She is the total opposite of me and I found her whiny and obnoxious a lot of the time (personal preference). Also I found it really irritating that she was so quick to shame the two other girls in the book for kissing a guy that had a girlfriend when she was no better. Owen is adorable and I loved him! The perfect best friend Madeline got on my nerves and I called her secret from the beginning. For some weird reason it bugged me that she was always called by her full name instead of a nickname like Maddie. This bugged me because it made the friendship feel insincere since most people I know call their best friend by some sort of a nickname. Will only existed to move the plot along and felt very irrelevant to me. I found myself rolling my eyes when he was mentioned. I wanted someone to punch Tyler in the face on multiple occasions.
Writing: The pacing was nice and I didn’t really feel the story drag in any place. The way the author described the theater environment and scenes brought back so much nostalgia for me. I could really tell that this author had some experience in high school theater.
