This book was absolutely adorable to the point that heart eyes were coming out of my face at the end.

This is a story about Kate, who consistently only develops crushes to the same people that her best friend, Anderson has crushes on.  But when a camp crush follows them back to school, it turns into something more for both of them and will test their friendship.  With the background of a school musical and an adorable friend squad and cast of supporting characters, I absolutely loved this!

I wasn't in love with this instantly. It took me a little while to really enjoy the characters, but once they started growing and developing I liked them more. I loved Noah and thought he was so adorable. I was a little hesitant about the way the theater kids referred to the jocks, but I honestly think they learned that there was more to people by the end, so that ended up being fine!

Anyway, this book was super cute and I loved it!
