Reviews

"A fun, breezy read that feels lighthearted but is multilayered, this one will appeal to YA and new adult readers, especially those ready to begin college. Enthusiastically recommended." --SLJ, starred review

"A romantic comedy that brings the rom and tons of the com . . . sidesplitting comic writing and an appealingly messy protagonist to root for." --KIRKUS, starred review

"Teens learning to trust again and discovering that drama is sometimes necessary for growth populate this sunny rom-com. . . . Brooke's high-intensity personality, amicable chatter, and hyper-independence propel the narrative through its believable and hilarious goings-on." --PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
