Description
Frenemies Whit and Zay have been at odds for years (ever since he broke up with her in, like, the most embarrassing way imaginable), so when they’re forced to organize the fall formal together, it's a literal disaster. Sparks fly as Whitney—type-A, passionate, a perfectionist, and a certified sweater-weather fanatic—butts heads with Zay, a dry, relaxed skater boy who takes everything in stride. But not all of those sparks are bad. . . .
Has their feud been a big misunderstanding all along?
Blisteringly funny and profoundly well-observed, The Fall of Whit Rivera is a snug and cozy autumn romcom that also tackles weightier topics like PCOS, chronic illness, sexuality, fatphobia, Latine identity, and class. Funny, honest, insightful, romantic, and poignant, it is classic Crystal Maldonado—and it will have her legion of fans absolutely swooning.

⤷‧₊˚3⭑ “i really, really like you.” “i really, really like you, too.” a cozy read that spreads the perfect autumn mood. in some places i found it boring, so i skimmed through them. i feel like i read another ya book that had the same atmosphere as this one, so it didn't stick out to me. i really liked the Latina representation and that you have to let go of some things and holding on to others, a realistic friendship but also the opportunity to find a way to love yourself. the love story between them was adorable. everything about them was so cute that i had to smile a lot i think was my sign to read more ya romance books. -thank you for arc in exchange for an honest review.-
