4.5, this was SO good. Kinda wish there were more chapters, but for a high school romance book it was AWESOME.

This was the kind of contemporary ya romance that was unputdownable. I loved Emma Mills 'First & Then' when I read it last year and for some reason I didn't think this one would be up my alley... but I think the thing about her books are that the summaries just don't do it justice because boy was I wrong. The humor was on point, the writing was well done and the characters were just so so wonderful.

Claudia overhears a conversation at a party at the end of the summer, and now she’s on the bad side of the meanest girl in school. What’s more, Claudia and she are assigned to write a paper together, and they’re both auditioning for a part in the play, A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Along the way, Claudia gains an unexpected friendship, meets an adorable new guy, and starts to think that things aren’t so bad after all.
Thanks to School Library Journal for a review copy of this book.

This book was really cute. It wasn’t anything super groundbreaking, and the plot didn’t compete with some of the other books I’ve read lately (ahem, Beartown), however I still liked how romanticized everything in this story was.
I loved Iris and Paige’s story of how they got together: The started out as best friends, and were often accused of liking each other as more than that. Iris actually did like Paige in that way, but denied it strongly whenever she was accused of having a crush. They grew apart because of this rejection. Later Iris finds out that Paige does like girls, and the Paige liked her in that way as well. Suddenly, they were the new it couple at school.
This story reminded me of a certain couple of boys at my school, which made me give this book one extra star.
Other than that this book was a basic rom-com. Gideon, of course, was the perfect Peter Kavinsky-esque guy. Claudia was shy but made new friends. And the background of a Shakespeare play was the cherry on top to a cliche story.

Oof y’all this book was startlingly good. Iris and Claudia’s relationship was the shining star of this book we STAN but also like...Gideon and Noah are adorable and I also loved Zoe and Alex and Julia and the video games and honestly...I can’t remember the last time I read a standalone with this many side characters that I genuinely loved.
And the physical book is absolutely stunning it’s textured and beautiful and I kinda couldn’t stop staring at it.
