plot line: If she isn't mine in the end, I'll still be hers.
It's torture, but it's true...
For years, I've dreamt of what college life could bring and while some things changed, there was always one constant.
It didn't matter how wild I allowed my imagination to run, my future was clear, and he was it.
Until suddenly, he wasn't.
Now there's a new man in my life, one who isn't afraid to go after what he wants, and what he wants... is me.
They say first loves last forever... I hope they're wrong.
my thoughts:
honestly, I felt as though I should have created an “investigation board” to keep on track with this books plot and characters because it was A LOT to handle.
*March book club pick for Forever Reading Romance*
if like love triangles , sport and teen/young love romance books - I think that you may really enjoy this!
as a romance reader that rarely reads these tropes, I was really hoping that I found a book that I could re-read and recommend to others - unfortunately this wasn’t the case.
don’t get me wrong , parts of this book was enjoyable but I felt as though there were quite a few let downs such as:
• the choice of dialogue / writing
• the events that took place within the plot (with no trigger warnings)
• the amount of characters and the length of the book
I think if there had been some more adjustments to the characters and plot before the release of this book I may of enjoyed it a lot more
what I will say though is… NOAH RILEY 🥺😍 he is the epitome of a book boyfriend and I know other readers will agree - so if you need a reason to read this book , let it be him.
overall , this was a long yet bittersweet book that I wish I had enjoyed a lot more.

American glory faded before me
Now I'm feeling hopeless, ripped up my prom dress
Running through rose thorns, I saw the scoreboard
And ran for my life....
Granted, I'm not a romance novel girl. I was curious as the premise sounded a lot like a Taylor Swift song. And it didn't disappoint.
It's you and me, that's my whole world
They whisper in the hallway, "She's a bad, bad girl" (okay)
The whole school is rolling fake dice
You play stupid games, you win stupid prizes
It should be 5 stars, buuuut the crew from the beach house kept messing with my head and confused me. And the happenstance of normal life was too long for me at times to enjoy it. But then, contemporary romance is not really my thing.
It's you and me, there's nothing like this
Miss Americana and The Heartbreak Prince (okay)
We're so sad, we paint the town blue
Voted most likely to run away with you
Overall, it's a sweet story, entertaining, and recommendable.
Very Miss Americana & the Heartbreak Prince
Question for the author: are you a swiftie?

Also, there is spice and I give this one 3 🌶️
If you’re on the fence abt this one, just read it. It’s amazing. It’ll be one I’m left thinking abt for a long time and telling all my book besties abt.
