2nd Read

I love this book sm and I think it got me out of a reading/mental slump and I'm so grateful. This was the first book I've ever annotated and it was pretty great, I just need more and better supplies.

(edit: it didn't get me out of my slump, i'm still sick of everything so that's fun. but i still love the book <3)

I will forever be jealous of Wes and Liz's love as I curl up into a ball and cry myself to sleep while listening to The Soundtrack of Wes and Liz

AND ENEMIES TO LOVERS IS MY FAVORITE TROPE, WHAT A PERFECT MATCH.

This is one of my comfort reads now, it was so freaking adorable and fluffy 🥰 I now want to go and rewatch rom-coms all day

Also, I made it my mission to finish this book in July, and I DID. I feel very accomplished now.

This book was basically everything I wanted: A book about rom-coms (there were quotes from rom-coms at the beginning of each chapter !!), an ENEMIES TO LOVERS, FAKE DATING, sooo much denial, and drama, drama, DRAMA.

Liz is relatable in the sense that she's just trying to live life and garner the courage to ask out her life long crush and also she LOVES listening to music, something I relate to on a spiritual level. Also, you bet that I'm gonna be making a playlist of the Wes and Liz playlist shown in the back of the book. And she also loves rom-coms and SO DO I.

“I fell in love with teasing you in the second grade, when I first discovered that I could turn your cheeks pink with just a word. Then I fell in love with you.��

Now. Wes. I loved him so much, and he had me screeching MULTIPLE different times. He's the bad boy next door but he's also so sweet and kind, and not really a bad boy at all, it's just that he's portrayed that way because Liz despised him. I love him so much and I want him for myself.



I also really loved the family connections in this. Liz had a slightly rocky relationship with her step-mom Helena, but I love that they were able to connect, and talk, and really get the chance to learn more about each other.

The friendships in this were also GOLD. Joss seems like a great friend, and I can understand her frustrations when Liz was being a neglectful and sucky friend. Wes's friends were also really nice and sweet to Liz.

Now, it was pretty chill through the book, but near the end, the drama just came pouring in and then I was reminded: Rom-coms are filled to the brim with drama. That's why I love them, besides the cute romances and cliche tropes that I just so happen to love.

Also, Wes's 'big hands' were mentioned a lot. I mean, I don't mind but it was a little repetitive, if we're gonna get nit-picky.

Liz's internal denial of her feelings was hilarious, and it just had me shouting at the book, telling her to just kiss him already!



Also, I screamed at that moment in Wes's car.

This book was also funny too: a lot of the lines made me laugh, and though it could be cheesy, cringey, and cliche, isn't that what you want out of a rom-com?

I loved Wes from the beginning, and while Michael seemed like a great guy, Wes was just better.

I will definitely be rereading this when I am either sad or want something cute, or just want to reread this.

5 stars

“She. Isn’t. You.��

😭😭 This scene killed me and brought me back to life at the same time.

I'm going to listen to the Wes and Liz playlist in the back of the book on repeat and no one can stop me
