How Not to Fall in Love by Jacqueline Firkins
5.0
sooo sweet and cute.
avoidant teen girl + sensitive romantic teen boy, theo + other sweet, kind, good-at-consent teen guy, felix + healthy and close friendships and deepened relationship with emotionally mature and loving mom <333
loved that storyline included all the vocab words + alliteration
good banter
writer gave harper a full emotional arc. we got to experience harper's heartbreak, grief and lack of self-trust following a breakup, her developing a crush, asking felix out, dating him + the emotional roller coaster of feelings and self-reflection that brings, noticing new attraction to longtime best friend and neighbor, theo, being faced with felix's clear desire and stated need for a committed relationship that triggers abandonment issues, acknowledging her developing feelings for theo, theo leaving suddenly and taking space, sort of reaching out to engage him romantically and him rejecting her (by saying he only wants to be friends with her bc he doesn't want to ruin their friendship), realizing her obliviousness to theo's feelings for her all along, and mustering up the courage to profess her love and communicate with theo directly and doing the grand romantic gesture (bc theo is a hopeless romantic) ... UGH UGH UGH
