Meet Cute Diary by Emery Lee
4.0
I was really looking forward to reading this book, because look at that cover!! Also, I was even more excited to read this because the author did a Twitter giveaway only for Brazillian readers!! I didn't win, but still!! It was nice to see since most giveaways tend to be only for the US or the UK.
Meet Cute Diary follows Noah. He’s an expert on romance. He has to be for his popular blog, the Meet Cute Diary. When a troll exposes the blog as fiction, the only way to save the Diary is to convince everyone that the stories are true, but he doesn’t have any proof. Then Drew walks in, and the pieces fall into place: Drew is willing to fake-date Noah to save the Diary. Which makes him realizes that dating in real life isn’t quite the same as finding love on the page.
I see so many negative reviews saying how they didn't like this book because Noah was immature . And I really disagree with those reviews. In YA contemporary, we don't see enough imperfect characters. But Noah really gets to be a real teenager in this book, and I think that's so important. Even though he is a little selfish and a little self-absorbed at times. I feel like he has a great character arc and learns to grow as a person.
I loved all of the representation here! We've got a trans triracial main character, a non-binary side-character who changes pronouns throughout the book and uses neopronouns!!
Probably what I enjoyed the most about this book was how much it surprised me. Usually, YA romance goes as you expect from reading the synopsis. But Meet Cute Diary does something different and unique that I did not expect!!
