This is a funny enemies to lovers YA romance that delivers. Lovely characters that came off as realistic, whole characters dealing with mental illness, family pressures, high school and University applications and a sweet story.

I did wanted to be shown not told a bit more about the characters. Celine’s tiktok/conspiracy seem super interesting but just a byline we are told more than shown about. Bradley is supposedly a footballer but we never go to a game or practice in the narrative. But they are still wonderful characters and the plot is good.

Such a cute fun read for a YA novel

The characters definitely had some immaturity but I think it just showed how young they were and how high schoolers really act. I’m here for the representation omg I don’t think I’ve ever read a book where a main character has OCD and that alone made my heart so happy. Definitely had me giggling in a few spots

Is this how teenagers actually act? I am exhausted. This was disappointing. I loved the Brown sisters' books that Hibbert wrote, and this book held the same amount of wit and funny lines as the Brown books but lacked the likability of the characters.
I just really couldn't sympathize with the main character because she could be a bit annoying, but I tried y'all. I'm gonna go read her other books again now!

This was undeniably cute and adorable. A very enjoyable read even if it didn't completely sweep me off my feet. The OCD representation is very good and I appreciated the fact that Hibbert didn't make it OCD a struggle story for Brad, he had moments but had a good support network and strategies to guide him through. Definitely a YA romance but I still enjoyed it.
