DNF!
This had a non-consensual kiss in 5 mins. Red Flag 1. Then he asks her to not bring a book to his next game. Dude, that's her emotional support book. You go to hell!
“Your eyes are nice. They're like the ocean. Calm.”“Oceans can be deadly.”I was starting to think Brett was too. Or at least the way he made me feel was. Like I was standing on the edge of a cliff. Or riding a roller coaster that only went up.
This book reminded me of the feeling of falling in love and how truly scary it is. Being vulnerable and allowing myself to be open to people entering my life when that gives them the opportunity to leave later on is terrifying.
One of my favourite tropes is fake relationship so the fact that this had that trope and didn't butcher it makes me extremely happy.
The characters and the way they interact is probably my favourite part of this book. It genuinely had me kicking my feet and giggling at certain parts.
I read this when it was originally published on wattpad years ago and it was so nice to come back to it and see the changes in the book and me since my first read, I will forever love fake dating
Kurzes nettes Buch, aber eins was ich spätestens nächsten Woche vergessen habe. Charaktere waren etwas langweilig und die story sehr flach . Naja paar Stunden verschenkt, die durch ein paar nette Elemente besser wurden ☺️
If I were 17 reading this, I'd be estatic and fangrirl over this giving it 5/5 ⭐ Not to say I didn't enjoy this but my reading perspective is abit or moreover so different. This is a really cute sweet fluffy romance that I'd highly recommend to those who aren't big fans on heavy romances. I really loved how family dynamics were very important to Becca and Brett. When they struggle or need someone to go to, they rely on eachother. Brett is a sweetheart, the way he cares and feels for Becca
not good but not too bad (probably a 2.5)
I was looking for a fluffy read but this one was trying to be a wholesome realistic one I guess? (dealing with divorce, cheating, etc.) It also didn't accomplish the wholesome realistic vibe
Me sentí engañada.
No puedo creer lo mucho que me estaba gustando, incluso llegué a pensar que iba a ser de mis libros favoritos del 2024, estaba super enganchada a la historia y los personajes. Realmente iba más que lista a darle 5 estrellas, pero... como me lo terminas así ??? no lo puedo creer.
En lo personal no me gustó nada, ni siquiera es que lo haya sentido apresurado, no, fue como que la autora se olvidó de seguir escribiendo, no sé. Me arruinó completamente una historia que me estaba encantando. Una decepción.
Aun así le doy 3 ⭐️ porque todo lo anterior me gustó mucho
A nice light hearted high school romance.
Both are dealing with family conflicts, and help each other navigate through them while falling in love in the process.
