EXES & FOES is a YA romance about two ex-best friends who set their sights on the same girl and decide to compete for her affection. as you can probably imagine from the premise, things get messy and complicated, especially as we learn more about caleb and emma's past and what led to the end of their friendship. i was kicking my feet, giggling, twirling my hair the whole time. i loved how caleb and emma seemed to bring out the worst but also the best in each other. their connection was so deep, despite having fallen out four years prior. to put it simply, they were each other's person. this was such a fun, heartfelt and swoony YA romance and i had such a great time reading it!
