liz is one of the few fmc‘s in a romance book that, even though being naive, i actually liked. might be because i could relate to her in several aspects, and not just in general feelings or experiences that she had but simply in who she was.

though i could not relate to her romcom obsession very much and it could’ve easily turned annoying, luckily it didn’t.

i’m so glad the whole makeover thing was „taken back“ because i could not have lived with knowing that this girl lost her curls AND her phenomenal style to a guy that told her she looks prettier with straight hair.

though the story was cliché at points, also predictable and annoying because of liz being oblivious, all of that was to be expected because — surprise, this is a romance book.

I love a good HEA!

This was an adorable teen romance that hit all the right places. Moments where I was giggling with excitement and others where I wanted to grab Lizzy and Wes’ shoulders and shake some sense into them!

The movies quoted and referenced throughout the book had me re-watching some of my favourite romcoms of the 90s.

literally such a cute, light, fluffy romance with ZERO shut! I loved this book so so much. this book had me squealing, blushing, and kicking my feet. I trust whoever recommended this to me because it was soo good! the trope is enemies to lovers, which is my favorite!

This was SUCH a good book to end the year on. I've been wanting to read it for SO LONG, and after DNFing Salt Lane, I was just so ready to read a good book. And this book absolutely DELIVERED. I love rom-coms, I love romance books with fluff, and this is just the perfect book for me. I love it so much.

While I am slightly annoyed that the main couple both spell their names with 3 letters each, I love them too much to be annoyed. The BUILD-UP to the first kiss is PHENOMENAL. That being said, I wish that there were MORE KISSES. That first kiss is the only really descriptive one, and then the other one is RIGHT at the end. MORE KISSES, PLEASE. But Liz and Wes are SO cute, I just wish that there would've been more communication between the two of them regarding Michael and Alex, because miscommunication is one of THE worst tropes, if not the worst. I just wish we had seen more of them over all, because they're amazing and so cute. I wish that the side characters were also fleshed out more, particularly Wes and Michael's friends, since they're all really just portrayed as dumb jocks, and I would've liked to get to know them more. I LOVED Laney's development, and Liz's unfair and biased narration based on who she used to be when she was younger made for a really interesting contradiction, something I LOVE in books. When the narrator of a story is untrustworthy, the twist is a surprise to both them AND us, since we automatically trust the main character.

I love the relationship between Liz and her stepmom, and even her dad on a smaller scale. I immediately loved Helena because she was described as a "blond Lorelai Gilmore," and I've always been a big Gilmore Girls fan. I love how this book brought them closer together, and ended up in a lot of character development on Liz's end. Her relationship with Wes also gives her a lot of development, which is AWESOME.

Anyways, GREAT book, I love it so much.
