It's Kind of a Cheesy Love Story by Lauren Morrill
5.0
I love a book that knows what it is.
I have, in my life, read many books that weren't quite sure what kind of book they were. I read more them a few books that couldn't decide whether they were action stories or young adult Romance. I read plenty of fiction that tried to straddle the line between personal horror and Cosmic horror and political Intrigue and did all of them badly.
This was an incredibly fun young adult romance novel and I think that it might be my new example for the apex of the genre. I read this with my daughter and, honestly, it was hard not to read ahead. Lauren Morrill crafted a story I wanted to get to the end of.
It's not going to change literature. It didn't change my world view (much) but I'll be damned if it didn't tackle high school relationships in a way that was honest and in no way condescending.
So from now on, whenever anyone asks me for a fun YA romance, this is my go to recommendation. And I can't really give higher praise.
