Synopsis: Emma is a die-hard romantic. She loves a meet-cute Netflix movie, her pet, Lady Catulet, and dreaming up the Gay Rom Com of her heart for the film festival competition she and her friends are entering. If only they’d listen to her ideas. . .

Sophia is pragmatic. She’s big into boycotts, namely 1) relationships, 2) teen boys and their BO (reason #2347683 she’s a lesbian), and 3) Emma’s nauseating ideas. Forget starry-eyed romance, Sophia knows what will win: an artistic film with a message.

Cue the drama. The movie is doomed before they even start shooting . . . until a real-life plot twist unfolds behind the camera when Emma and Sophia start seeing each other through a different lens. Suddenly their rivalry is starting to feel like an actual rom-com.

Review: For the most part I enjoyed the book. I felt like the characters were pretty well developed and the plot was interesting. The book was really cute and sweet and it's just one of those books that you read when you want a strong contemporary romance book.

However, I felt like there was a lot going on in the book. There was a lot going on and I just got very bogged down with all the stories and romances and side quests and stuff like that. I also felt like the world building wasn't as great and that I think the book could have been a little bit more streamlined.

Verdict: It was cute, but I got a little lost in the crowd.
