Darcy Phillips is great at giving love advice, but not so great at making it work for her own relationships. Darcy is bi-sexual and in love with her best friend Brooke. Brooke is not aware of Darcy’s feelings, and she is in love with someone else. Students in Darcy’s high school leave letters in locker 89 asking for relationship advice, and Darcy responds anonymously typically giving spot on advice, but sometimes using her anonymity to her advantage.

When the star of the swim team, Alexander Brougham catches Darcy taking the letters out of locker 89, he makes a deal with her. He will keep her secret if she helps him get his ex-girlfriend back. There are things that Darcy doesn’t want to come to light if people find out she’s behind locker 89 so she agrees to help Brougham. How hard can it be to make someone fall in love with someone they’ve already broken up with?

I really enjoyed this contemporary young adult romance. I thought the premise was original and liked that the main character was bi-sexual. It brought a diverse aspect to the story. Darcy was relatable because although she was trying to help people she also wanted to find happiness herself. Sometimes she didn’t make the best decisions when it came to her own happiness, and while she makes mistakes, she learns from them. I enjoyed Brougham’s story as well and liked reading as his business deal with Darcy progressed into friendship.

I really enjoyed everything about this story – the friendships, the romance, and the familial bonds particularly the relationship between Darcy and her sister Ainsley. Sophie Gonzalez has a way of writing rom-coms where they are funny, but not over the top.
