2.5/5 stars. (I listened to the audiobook so if anything is spelled wrong, whoopsies)

General Description: Liz Buxbaum is going to get her romantic comedy happy ending, despite losing her mother at a young age, and even if she has to give up everything for the Michael Young. Liz has loved Michael since she was a kid, but she can't get Michael alone. She has to enlist the help of Wes, her annoying neighbor, in order to get close to Michael. However, will Liz be so blinded by Michael she can't see Wes, or is it Wes's time to shine as a rom-com star?

The okay:
- I really think Helena saved a lot of this book for me. I loved her.
- Tbh the concept, in the beginning, was cute! Definitely gave me rom-com vibes, but...

The confusion of this book that caused it to lose 2.5 star:
- I really didn't find this book that funny at all. It was either cringy or just too ridiculous. And i was a high school teacher, I saw what those kids did in class, but those were freshmen. NOT seniors.
- Speaking of seniors, Liz did not seem her age at all. It was just a weird vibe with everyone CONTINUING to call her "lil liz". She just seemed disconnected from her entire class for like no specific reason? I don't understand why she literally seems to hate or not even want to interact with the majority of her classmates...
- There are parts of this book where I literally re-wound the book to see if I missed a description of something (ex: Liz's tattoo). It was just such an odd writing style.

Overall: If there was a movie of this, it'd probably be better!
