This book is seriously funny, like I couldn't read it in public because I would look like a crazy person for full out laughing out loud. It's an adorable tale of two clueless best friends who try to help each other find love all while documenting in their own manifesto. Overall a cute and funny read.

Before reading this I could honestly say that I had never before wanted to pinch a book’s cheeks, but I can’t say that anymore. Kissing Ted Callahan (and other guys) is TOTES ADORBS, and I just want to take it to coffee and chat with it about what it was like being a teenager, and dating.

It was good at the beginning but as the story went on the main character revealed herself to be very shallow and the "romance" was very flat and not believable. I wasn't even sure why she liked the guy she did and had no empathy for her when she had a crisis near the end.

I didn't know what to expect going into this book, but it was good. At times the characters seemed juvenile, but they are only 16-17, so it made sense. The Passenger Manifest is such a scary idea to me and I can't believe the characters of Riley & Reid kept it going for so long. I wish we got more of a relationship between Riley and Lucy, or just more Lucy in general. I liked most of the secondary characters, but I feel like everything just skimmed the surface.

There are things I like about this-- some funny moments, a completely platonic boy-girl friendship, the characterization of "the United Front." The author fairly effectively subverts the usual "girls want love, boys want sex" trope without patting herself too hard on the back about that. I'm also glad that Reid's contribution to the narrative was limited, because I frankly found his voice irritating. But there are some issues with pacing and depth, unfortunately.

I actually really enjoyed the writing, but I could not stand Riley and the way she treated literally everyone in her life.

This book was just a whole bunch of fluff but I really enjoyed it. It was easy to read and it didn't fail to put a goofy smile on my face the whole time. Riley was frustrating at points but she's a teenager and she's learning the do's and don'ts in life. Ted was adorable.
Overall I really enjoyed this goofy contemporary read!

I'm perhaps above average reader age for this book but this was off the charts good. I laughed out loud and awwed over the characters in a way I never did when I was in my YA hayday. This book just didn't exist then! So glad I stumbled upon it now and got a chance to read a genuinely funny rendition of being 16, confused, and in love.
