Love this cover and I am so happy to have won a copy from bookish first to review. I used to play basketball in middle school and I enjoy any YA books that take me back to the time of playing sports in High school. I also love a good rom com and this book has that too but of course I am going to bring up that they are a diverse couple and she is plus size. I love a book that has representation and this one is so cute down to her jordan's on the cover and his van's.

Friends turned into more than friends story and it is a coming of age tale for both of the characters. Bethany and Jacob are bad at dating and decide to pretend date and usually this kind of story ends up getting dramatic messy and full of teen angst that is hard for me to get through but this book was totally not that vibe. They are both strong characters that don't succumb to peer pressure which is awesome <3<3<3

1/3rd Hard Candy, 1/3rd American Psycho 2, and 1/3rd Netflix's The End of the Fxxxing World
This book was perfect. I don't think I can really say anything negative about it. I found myself unable to tear my eyes from the pages for even a moment. I guess if I really had to nitpick, the ending was a little predictable. But that in no way takes away from the rest of the story or McGinnis' masterful writing.

I've heard a few people say it was intense, hard to finish. I personally, did not have that trouble. Then again, I watched and read a lot of stuff I probably shouldn't have at a really young age and am probably, at least slightly, emotionally stunted. I can definitely see where other readers are coming from though. So, as much as I highly recommend this book, proceed with caution.
