This was a really cute, quick YA romance that was also a love letter to romance novels. And I adored it. Definitely recommended to others!

📝 The rivals to friends to lovers progression was great, the bumps along the way made sense for teenagers, the game of howl was fun and interesting.

💌📚💓 The FMC/narrator really loves romance novels, and advocates for them to basically everyone she knows by the end of the book. And the points made were good ones, and from a feminist perspective. And I'm right there with her so I was all for it!

🎧 POV was first person, just FMC. The narrator did a good job embodying Rowan as she works through her thoughts and feelings.

🌶️ 2/5 This may be a surprise based on my username, but even though I'm rating this book 5 stars, it had virtually no spice!
The characters do hook up at the end but it's described in pretty vague terms.
But I'm still giving slight spice points because the tension between the MCs and the thrill of the almost kisses and actual kisses was so teenaged "OMG I like him so much eeeee what's going to happen" and I loved it.

🏳️‍🌈✊ Rowan (
and Neil, we later learn
) is Jewish, by her father's side. Her mother's side of the family is Hispanic. Her friends and classmates are multiple different ethnicities and races and sexual orientations.
