Story4.5 out of 5 stars 46
Perpetual daydreamer Liz Buxbaum gave her heart to Michael a long time ago. But her cool, aloof forever crush never really saw her before he moved away. Now that he’s back in town, Liz will do whatever it takes to get on his radar - and maybe snag him as a prom date - even befriend Wes Bennet. The annoyingly attractive next-door neighbor might seem like a prime candidate for romantic-comedy fantasies, but Wes has only been a pain in Liz’s butt since they were kids. Yet, somehow, Wes and Michael are hitting it off, which means Wes is Liz’s in.

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 118
She's about to make a deal with the college bad boy.... Hannah Wells has finally found someone who turns her on. But while she might be confident in every other area of her life, she's carting around a full set of baggage when it comes to sex and seduction. If she wants to get her crush's attention, she'll have to step out of her comfort zone and make him take notice, even if it means tutoring the annoying, childish, cocky captain of the hockey team in exchange for a pretend date.

Story4 out of 5 stars 91
Hi, my name is Bree Camden, and I’m hopelessly in love with my best friend and star quarterback Nathan Donelson (so is half of America, judging by the tabloids and how much the guy dates). The first step is admitting it, right? Except, I can never admit it to him because he clearly doesn’t see me that way, and the last thing I want is for things to get weird between us. Nothing but good old-fashioned no-touching-the-sexiest-man-alive platonic friendship for us! Everything is exactly how I like it! Yes. Good. (I’m not crying; I’m just peeling an onion.)

Bad luck has always followed Olivia Marshall...or maybe she's just the screw-up her family thinks she is. But when a "What are you wearing?" text from a random wrong number turns into the hottest, most entertaining - albeit anonymous - relationship of her life, she thinks things might be on the upswing.

I've been humiliated, shut out, and gossiped about all through high school. His pranks and rumors got worse as time wore on. I even went to Europe for a year, just to avoid him. But I'm done hiding from him now, and there's no way I'll allow him to ruin another year. He might not have changed, but I have. It's time to fight back.

Written by: Kiera Cass
Publisher's Summary
A fun, flirty teen debut from Wattpad phenom Alex Light about a fake relationship and real love.
It’s been years since 17-year-old Becca Hart believed in true love. But when her former best friend teases her for not having had a boyfriend, Becca impulsively pretends she’s been secretly seeing someone.
Brett Wells has it all. As captain of the football team and one of the most popular guys in his school, he should have no problem finding someone to date, but he’s always been more focused on his future than who to bring to prom. When he overhears Becca’s lie, Brett decides to step in and be the mystery guy. It’s the perfect solution: he gets people off his back for not having a meaningful relationship, and she can keep up the ruse that she’s got a boyfriend.
Acting like the perfect couple isn’t easy, though, especially when you barely know the other person. But with Becca still picking up the pieces from when her world was blown apart years ago and Brett just barely holding his together now, they begin to realize they have more in common than they ever could have imagined.
When the line between what is pretend and what is real begins to blur, they're forced to answer the question: Is this fake romance the realest thing in either of their lives?

Teenage sex?
Why does a great romance have to lead to teens having sex? Too many social issues are exacerbated by this behavior, not to mention unwanted pregnancies. Novels for young adults should never encourage or glorify teens having sex that leads to happy outcomes—that’s too unrealistic, and can mislead young readers to believe there are no consequences. This novel was excellent except for that one flaw.

Super cute read!
What a cute read! Becca and Brett are great characters, both aren't interested in dating but have reasons why having a partner would help them so they decide to fake a relationship. I loved that he was a good guy and treated her well from the beginning. He knew she wouldn't want to sit with his friends at lunch and automatically comes to her. She supports him when his family is going through a hard time. They had great chemistry and connected so well.
This dealt with some tough family and friend issues, while still having lighthearted moments and making me laugh. The story moved at a great pace and the narration on the audiobook was fantastic!

The Upside of Falling
Overall I enjoyed this story.
I like how they were very opposite but they came together and found they had more in common then they thought.
It was nice that she was there for him and vice versa. It was a good coming of age story.
I enjoyed the narration.

Mixed feelings
There were some parts I really liked, some I liked and some I didn’t. I love Caitlin Kelly as a narrator and think she did a wonderful job with Becca’s story. Not sure how I felt about Austin Rising as it was weird hearing him do Becca in the Austin parts.

One-time listen
Started off in a fun way, but turned a bit meh, for me. It was cute until it turned unnecessarily cheesy. Characters are very “clean” and not too complicated, I wish their internal conflicts weren’t so obvious and laid out.
The narration was good, though.

Cutest!
The cover is what describes this book- JUST TOO CUTE!!!! If you dig Jenny Han or Kasie West’s books, this is up to par! Quick, light, and entertaining read. Yup, this YA romance story was well-rounded leaving me completely satisfied!

An easy lazy read for a relaxing weekend. Nothing too heavy or thought provoking, just incredibly fluffy and cute. Narrators did a fantastic job emoting.

One of the most realist romance books I’ve read.
Ive started to read lots of romance books over quarantine and liked most of them but for some reason while reading them they didn’t feel real but since the second chapter of this book started i actually feel like i could be one of these characters the way they act is so real that it made everything i read a hundred times more interesting this books is great and if your a highschool student like me it shows you that even when you feel alone you cant lose hope because you never know what can happen.

SO GOOD
This book was so good, and I loved the story, and plot. Also I felt like it was really easy to connect with the characters, which I loved.
