This was a YA romance novel about Char and JT, two enemies at school that are working on decorating at the prom when Char falls off the ladder and lands on JT.  The next thing they know they are both 30 and are dating.  They have to figure out 1) How they ended up together 2) Are they really 30 or is this some crazy dream one of them is having?.  This was a cute romcom book.  It was very reminiscent of To All the Boys I Loved, which I love.  I liked the main characters and it was fun seeing them in their future selves and I liked that both of them were experiencing being in their 30s and not just one of them.  I think it would make a cute movie and from the acknowledgments it sounds like it will be made.
