I really liked this book! I really… felt connected somehow to Kate. I think that we’re very similar, we’re both theater kids, the way the thought about the f-boys sometimes how I think of dudebro jocks 😅 (mostly football ones since I play soccer) It was a bit weird for me to read the scenes with Noah sometimes because I know someone named Noah who plays baseball and is similar to the Noah in this book, so that was interesting. I really liked Raina and Brandie! Those two were amazing. I also liked how the squad would go to one of their houses bringing their clothes to decide what to wear to a party or something like that. I thought this was a really cute book!

This was really sweet and fun! As far as YA contemporaries (or even YA contemporaries written by Becky Albertalli) go, I don't think it brought anything new to the table but it was fun regardless.

Kate is the most self-centered, egotistical... every character in this book sounded like someone out of Bring It On.

DNF -- think I'm just really growing out of YA recently. This felt really juvenile to me. The audiobook narrator didn't help and activity made it worse.

I know going in this is going to be love triangle between two best friends but like that is going to from reading. So let's start with Kate and Andrew are horrible towards each other over a guy....best friends were anyway saving grace of this book is love interest Noah.
