This was super cute 🥺 I really liked it. It was very slow burn, rivals to dating (I don't like using the word lovers when talking about YA books, it's...weird), and I also really liked the subplots with Arya's family and friends. She had a lot going on outside the relationship with the boy. I love romance stories, but I also love when the main characters have well-rounded lives. So there was a big conflict with Arya and her sister as well as Arya and her two best friends which made for an interesting story.

The romance was super sweet and I liked how Arya and Dean's relationship developed throughout the book. They had an established relationship in school as kind of rivals and competitors and it was fun to see that change to them tolerating each other, to begrudgingly accepting each other, to liking each other.

Definitely recommend this for any fans of YA romance! This is Arushi Avachat's first novel, and I am for sure going to keep an eye on her in the future
