About the book
"One of the most adorable, big-hearted, charming books in existence." --Becky Albertalli, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Simon vs. the Homo Sapiens Agenda
What If It's Us meets To All the Boys I've Loved Before in this upbeat and heartfelt boy-meets-boy romance that feels like a modern twist on a '90s rom-com!
Everyone knows about the dare: Each week, Bryson Keller must date someone new--the first person to ask him out on Monday morning. Few think Bryson can do it. He may be the king of Fairvale Academy, but he's never really dated before.
Until a boy asks him out, and everything changes.
Kai Sheridan didn't expect Bryson to say yes. So when Bryson agrees to secretly go out with him, Kai is thrown for a loop. But as the days go by, he discovers there's more to Bryson beneath the surface, and dating him begins to feel less like an act and more like the real thing. Kai knows how the story of a gay boy liking someone straight ends. With his heart on the line, he's awkwardly trying to navigate senior year at school, at home, and in the closet, all while grappling with the fact that this "relationship" will last only five days. After all, Bryson Keller is popular, good-looking, and straight . . . right?
Drawing on his own experiences, Kevin van Whye delivers an uplifting and poignant coming-out love story inspired by classics like Venio Tachibana and Rihito Takarai's manga Seven Days: Monday-Sunday and the '90s rom-com She's All That. Readers will root for Kai and Bryson to share their hearts with the world--and with each other.

5.0Tolles Buch🫶.
Dieses Buch hat mich wirklich auf keiner Seite enttäuscht😍. Ich hatte keine Probleme mit der Sprache und habe in den lockeren, lustigen Schreibstil des Autors sofort hinein gefunden. Die Protagonisten waren toll und die Nebenfiguren waren genau richtig (oder eben auch nicht 🫣). Die Storyline war für mich von der Grundidee neu, interessant und an den richtigen Stellen überraschend. Neben den vielen lustigen, leichten, liebevollen Szenen schwang trotzdem immer ein gewisser Ernst bei Themen wie Outing und Homophobie mit, den der Autor gut und ehrlich getroffen hat. Das Buch hat mich wirklich berührt und auf ehrliche Art und Weise verzaubert 🫶.

2.0This was a more or less ok read. What bugged me was how fast the feelings developed (á la "I can't imagine doing this and that without him." after like two days of dating) and that the interactions went from cute to cringey. Almost all side characters felt like stage props and the conversations between Kai and his friends were awfully superficial. The writing style was choppy. So, what did I like ... well, I guess some topics like how important it is to be able to choose your coming out and how hard this can be.
