This one brought me right back to the 90s and the reality of navigating high school. With a nod to rom coms of the 90s complete with lines from movies opening each chapter this was an easy read. I started to listen on audio while walking but needed to switch to print so I could finish this one quicker. Despite the lightheartedness of the rom com feel, there were emotional parts too, that made me tear up.
