It was fun at some parts and cringe-y in others.
Also the mc kept talking in German when she got really angry and that kept bothering me because it's not even her first language.
But all things considered, it wasn't a bad book, it was kind of adorkable actually.

DNF chapter 14… I didn’t like how dense and heartless fl is like literally you break up and the accept any confesión ? 

Cute and ok but I don't really get why this book is that worshipped, the characters were quite superficial and I think it was quite unrealistic that both loved each other since forever but... I liked Cooke o Gormans other book the "Good girls guide to being bad" much better...

So, I read this book so stinking fast. SO FAST. It was an adorable contemporary book. Sometimes, there were things that annoyed me (like the actions of the MC or just stupid comments made) but overall I loved the quirky character of Sally and I thought Becks was pretty swoony. I can't tell you how many books I read this fast. It is not many. I just didn't want to put it down.

It's 2 a.m. right now, so that should tell you something.

If you are looking for a short and sweet YA, look no further. This one was cute and fluffy and I can't wait to read more books from this author.

My only real dislike is that there was something about the writing that wasn't really great, but it was a quick and fast-paced style with pretty good dialogue and obviously it was highly addictive. Literal CRACK. Nobody said fluffy books were masterpieces, but fluffy books are a MUST.

If you love Kasie West, I recommend you read this. Anyway, hope ya enjoy this as much as I did.

A cute quick read. Feels like something I would've loved at 13

Adorkable!!!

I love a good, sweet YA romance...especially friends to lovers.

Things I loved:
*** Becks devotion to Sal
*** Sal being proud of being a self-proclaimed 'geek'.
*** a fake romance

Things I didn't love:
* Sal's mom and Hooker are totally out of line. They continue to set her up with someone despite that she has told them no, time after time.

My rating started with 4 starts because it was very entertaining and cute. But I retracted a star for the constant "I'M nOt lIKe oThEr gIrls", because yeah being quirky is cute and "dork" is literally in the title, but why does she constantly feel the need to put other girls down? She acts like not putting on makeup is a (positive) personality trait lol.
(And she acts like liking Harry Potter and star trek makes her "such a dork" but those are one of the most popular franchises for a reason. If the author really wanted to make her a nerd or whatever, at least try harder)
That also correlates with the ridiculously over the top mean girls. Together with the CONSTANT slut-shaming made me retract another star.
Her love interest is described multiple times as a "player" with a love for girls, while those girls who love him are "sluts", "sleezies" and "skanks". Aha SurE, lovE that -_-.
The "mean girl" trope has been over-done since the beginning of time. Maybe you disagree for holding it up to 2020 standards but it isn't like this wasn't bad 4 years ago. I can overlook the cliches but not the harmful tropes.

Not in this household.
