Second only to the "fake dating" trope is the "love lessons" trope! In this fun, readable romance, an outgoing flirt decides to prove to her ex that she's a good person by giving love lessons to a socially awkward geek who's pining for a mutual friend. Of course, these classic opposites may find they have more common with each other than with the people they're desperate to impress. A cute romance with lots of fun setpieces.

Stray Observations:

While this easily could have been about high school kids or adults, I'm glad they set it in the underrepresented college milieu.

I'm not normally a fan of "rotating POV" romances, but this one works well because both characters have development and their voices sound really different, which I imagine is a result of each author taking one of them. 

The authors are wives in real life, which is cute.
