a book about julia and dave, best friends in highschool. they decide to make a list of highschool stereotypes and never engage in those on the list. dave is secretly in love with julia, so he's pretty happy when she says they should break every rule on the list for fun. of course, one of the rules is to never date your best friend.
the writing style was my biggest issue. it was so bland and boring, it only made this whole book more forgettable to me. it was forgettable to begin with, since there was nothing about the plot that i found fun. dave and julia were irritating from the start, since they felt so much better than everyone else because they vowed never to dye their hair an unnatural color because that's 'cliche' or 'stereotypical', and therefore not good enough for them. the romance was pretty nonsensical, the ending was disappointing but it honestly didn't impact me all too much because i was so bored by the rest of the book already. at least it was a quick read.
