The Year Shakespeare Ruined My Life by Dani Jansen
5.0
I received a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!
Alison is your awkward, average-looking nerd who wants more than anything to become valedictorian. In order to help her chances, she agrees to produce her school play and that's when her life starts getting more complicated. For starters, she has to deal with her best friend Becca, who is in love with her oldest friend Jack, but won't ever consider speaking to him and her crush Charlotte, who is way too cool for her. On top of that, she still has to study hard to achieve her dreams. This sounds like a recipe for disaster, but maybe things have to get really messy before they get really good.
This book was so cute!! The characters were well-rounded and relatable and screaming at Alison to stop creating messes bigger than herself was so fun. It was a light read with a happy ending and that was definitely what I needed.
One thing I disliked was the conflict between Alison and Charlotte, it wasn't built up appropriately, so I felt like it was coming out of the blue. Nevertheless, I loved their romance and I was cheering them on the whole time!
I really enjoyed this book and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a cute lesbian romance!
