Better than the movies
5⭐️
This is just cuteness overload. Liz and wes are neighbours, enemies, and co-conspirators in fake dating. They're also perfect together.
Our MCs bounce off each other really well, and I loved the mix of emotion and comedy. I was worried about it feeling too insta lovey since it's a 2 week time frame, but it didn't. Is it tropey, yes. But in the best way. I loved all the references to romcoms, and the idea that fate was throwing basketballs at her face was hilarious.
I felt that the grief over the loss of her mother was handled well, and I loved the development in her relationship with Helena.
I'm looking forward to the sequel. Honestly, I'm hoping its just them all cute and happy in college, maybe helping their friends get their love lives in order.
