This is the YA version of When Harry Met Sally. This was such a fun read. I was so hooked from page one. I adored the best friends to lovers in this book. It was done so well. I tried so hard to love these characters but it was so hard for me. They were both stupid teenagers that did stupid things. Both Bailey and Charlie are clearly traumatized and aren't doing anything healthy to help themselves. Instead, they resort to trying to sabotage their parents' relationships and making bets on their friends. It's clear that I am an adult because some of these characters actions were incredibly juvenile but then I remember that they are literally juveniles. So, I loved the romance in this, I loved how much it reminded me of one of my favorite rom-coms, but I will not read this again, as I will not be able to handle the childness a second time.
