This book was so easy to read if I hadn't started it so late at night I would have read it in one go which I don't normally do... and I guess I didn't this time but I literally picked it up to read twice and then it was done.

Now it's not exactly the most groundbreaking pieces of literature but it's a nice story that has a bunch of fun tropes like mean girls, fake dating, misunderstandings, enemies to lovers, jockXcheerleader and they happen to be sapphic and includes a WOC as one of the main characters.

Despite how tropey it is, it also does tackle some important topics like homophobia in school, coming out, sense of self and quite an interesting take on coming of age and getting over a break up. Scotty's journey to getting over her ex-girlfriend is not a smooth one and maybe I just don't read enough straight up romance YA books but it was a take I hadn't really seen much of.

If you like YA romance or just want to read a sapphic romance then this is a fun one if the characters are all secretly depressed AF but if that's not your genre, I don't think this is going to be the one to change your mind.
