I LOVE THIS BOOK. Yes, it is incredibly cliché (dead mom, the boy next door, an embarrassing clumsy event happening every time they’re about to have a romantic moment, a little bit of not-like-other-girls syndrome), but I don’t care!! The absolute chokehold that the fake-dating trope has on me is insane. This book made me feel like I was 18 again but in the best, most nostalgic way. I love the characters so much and I will be reading the sequel the second it comes out!
