Taylor Swift songs: “daylight”, “call it what you want”, “We are never ever getting back together (tv)” (obviously)
This is one of the most entertaining, original concepts for a ya Romcom I’ve seen in a long time. Two girls going on a second chance dating show with their shared ex just to fall in love with each other? Genius. This was told in dual pics of the two girls, and it’s enemies to friends to lovers. This was not only incredibly sweet and romantic, but also surprisingly super funny!! The banter and fellow hating on the shared ex bf was so funny and so clever/witty. If you want a YA Romcom with Bi rep, this is for you!! I am a sucker for shows like the bachelorette/bachelor, so seeing this second chance dating show and how calculated it is was very interesting as well!! Overall, I thought this book was extremely original and entertaining, and very well done. It also had a lot of depth and complexity. I highly recommend! I will be looking for other books from this same author in the future!
