Cute YA story!
This was a cute story! Mia is the new girl at Halisburg Prep. She finds herself in trouble on her very first day, and is forced into detention with Sutton, the school’s star quarterback. She thinks Sutton is a typical jock, and they instantly don’t get along. Sutton tries hard to live up to all that is expected of him, but football isn’t his real passion. Once they get to know each other, they form a tentative friendship. Both think they have feelings for someone else.
This story is a fun enemies to lovers read with hidden identity thrown in the mix. The paint scene was probably my favorite. There was great chemistry between Sutton and Mia, and I was on the edge of my seat waiting for the moment that they realized how they felt about one another. I really enjoyed the friendships in the story as well. I’m excited to get to know more of the characters in the rest of the series!

I received this as an arc for my honest review
This was a cute YA story. It sort of reminded me of the movie “You Got Mail” but in high school. I liked it. It was well written and the story had a great pace. The characters seemed believable and I enjoyed reading their story.

I don’t really have the words to do this incredible book justice, but I’m going to try anyways!
I loved Mia and Sutton! At first I wasn’t sure if I was going to or not with how they first interacted with each other, but they completely blew me away!
Mia transferred to Hallisburg Prep for her last year of high school due to an upcoming divorce between her parents that they wanted her to be away from. Then when she wants to make her relationship with her popular jock boyfriend work despite the distance, he dumps her and starts dating another girl two days later.
Sutton is the popular jock of Hallisburg prep, which is the exact type of person Mia has sworn herself to stay away from. No matter how cute he is in person. So unfortunately, she acts rudely towards him to push him away before either of them even get the chance to get to know each other. And though Sutton thinks Mia is cute, he does not like her rude behavior … nor the fact that she got them caught being out after curfew despite him trying to help her get back to the dorms.
But as her bickering with Sutton progresses in the following days, so does their punishment. They need to work together on a project, which takes a lot of planning. As well as a lot of time together without the bickering so they can get it done. Both Mia and Sutton begin to fall for each other, but are still holding themselves back by their previous thoughts about each other.
During this time, Mia also meets a boy anonymously through their school’s app and begins talking with him about his music, her writing, and random other get to know you things. And she starts to fall for the mysterious stranger.
How can she choose between the person that gets her and the boy she loves to hate?
