“You look best when you're you.”
This book reminds me of the high school teenage experience I could’ve had. I seriously devoured and enjoyed this book. I was smiling and screaming like an idiot through scenes. Liz and Wes are so cute together, I love their banter. The movie and TAYLOR SWIFT references made me love this book even more. As much as this book was filled with typical cliche high school cheesiness, I enjoyed it nonetheless. Not to mention, the trope childhood friends to enemies to ...more

I know many people are obsessed with this book, so my review might not fit the standard but hey, so be it. To be honest, this book is 2.5 ⭐️ for me mostly because of the main character, aka Liz. Maybe it’s because im no longer 16, but I couldn’t relate to Liz in any way. The way she treats her loved ones because of her selfish desires? That’s a big no for me. The girl treated her stepmother and bff like absolute sh!t. She also had a way of overdramatising every situation, making it into a movie/

even after my re-read, this is still one of my favourite books ever. liz and wes will forever be one of my favourite book couples. and don't even get me started on some of the quotes in this books....AGH.
'She. Isn't. You.'
this will forever be one of my fav quotes from any book.

“enemies-to-lovers—it’s our trope, buxbaum.” ᥫ᭡
i can’t explain how cute and funny this book was. i was laughing so much, giggling and smiling throughout the whole book. i didn’t even expect to love this book that much because i’m usually not impressed with YA books.
i loved wes so so much (and helena - give my woman the damn credit she deserves).
i loved the banter, the messy fake dating part, the connection between wes and liz, their childhood memories, him giving “she’s not you” vibes and fallin ...more

ׂ╰┈➤ EXTEREMELY disappointed in this one. Why was it so overhyped on tiktok and here? And i also saw someone say this is the cure to all reading slumps. Babe, i'm gonna hold your hand when i say this.. but this was NOT the case for me. This has been dragging me along for a month, not really helping with my bummed up mood about exams.

ೃ︵➷ At first this book was a little struggle to get through it was a cute introduction it was so sweet how it was having the character show emotion when dealing with a loss of someone she deeply loved wanted to cherish her last wishes.

4 out of 5 ☆’s.
”My inheritance was the knowledge that love is always in the air, always a possibility, and always worth it.”
Goodness — I regret putting this one off for so long!
This novel had an accumulation of all of my favorite things: a hopeless romantic MC, playlists (!!!), and a smitten-as-a-kitten love interest. :)
I am sooo excited to read “Better Than the Prom” and see more of these two! ♡
