Beschreibung

In this rom-com about rom-coms, in the spirit of Kasie West and Jenn Bennett, a hopeless romantic teen attempts to secure a happily-ever-after moment with her forever crush, but finds herself reluctantly drawn to the boy next door.

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. Pranks involving frogs and decapitated lawn gnomes do not a potential boyfriend make. Yet, somehow, Wes and Michael are hitting it off, which means Wes is Liz’s in.

But as Liz and Wes scheme to get Liz noticed by Michael so she can have her magical prom moment, she’s shocked to discover that she likes being around Wes. And as they continue to grow closer, she must reexamine everything she thought she knew about love - and rethink her own ideas of what happily ever after should look like.

Im Grunde hat mir der Roman genau das gegeben, wonach ich gesucht hatte: Eine „Enemies to Lovers-High School-Romanze“. Nur dass ich die meiste Zeit von den Unterhaltungen der Figuren angecringed war - ein bisschen so, als hätte eine 16-Jährige das Buch selbst verfasst. Noch dazu fand ich die Protagonistin so unfassbar nervig und unsympathisch, dass es mir das Lesen sehr erschwert hat. Darüber hinaus ging mir die Entwicklung von zwei „verfeindeten“ Teenies zu flirtenden Liebhabern viel zu schnell, was den ganzen Roman ins Lächerliche gezogen hat. Der einzige Grund, warum das Buch trotz alledem noch zwei Sterne erhalten hat, ist der tolle Charakter des Protagonisten.
