Synopsis

Three's a crowd, but four's a war.

Big girl undies? Check.

Speech planned? Check.

Nerves of steel? Check.

A single crush? Not check . . .?

What do you do when you find your best friend/crush kissing your other best friend on the day you were going to declare your feelings for him?

You only agree to fake date your crush's rival. The King of the Bows, popular golden (play)boy, and all around douche, Xander wouldn't be my last choice for a boyfriend.

Across the school, battlelines are drawn and sides are taken between the new "it" couple of my former best friends and the excitingly scandalous pairing of me and King Douche.

Xander keeps distracting me from the plan; make Jason jealous. He insists on holding my hand and kissing me and being nice. Ugh.

Xander's not nice and he's not the relationship type, but he's doing a damned good job of acting both parts.

He calls it "keeping up appearances," I call it "take one more pass at my arse and I'll break your nose."

They say all's fair in love and war, but what's so fair about falling for the wrong guy when your two best friends are on the other side of the battlelines?

Goodreads review by Yoda on July 30, 2018

I can´t really say I hated it cause I did voluntarily turn to the next page every time. I would´ve probably edited the plot differently, a bit tired of books were the main plot is "He doesn´t like me, does he? How can I ever figure that out???" communication is basically non-existent even when he sa......more

Goodreads review by Jacob on April 24, 2021

I let this review go too long and that makes me sad. I'm not entirely sure this works, though I was engaged throughout. The setup is a bit too ideal for delivering a "message" and that makes it seem a bit manipulated. I mean, it doesn't take long to figure out that the group Holly leaves is rather a......more

Goodreads review by Arceli on September 21, 2018

This novel is just plain hilarious. There were tons of laughing-out-loud moments with the snark and banter between the characters. Holly was a super fun heroine. I love her potty mouth and her banter with Xander. Her sarcasm made her a great heroine. However, I loved Holly's character growth. She gr......more

Goodreads review by Samantha (WLABB) on February 19, 2019

Rating: 3.5 Stars This is my second book by Stevens, and I have to say, she knows how to write those bad boys with hearts of gold. I quickly became a fan of Xander, and thought he and Holly were fantastic together. Yes, this was a little bit of a Romeo and Juliet, West Side Story kind of romance, wit......more

Goodreads review by Sharon on August 06, 2018

Thank you Sharon J for recommending this book to me. This was an incredible read. The story grabbed from the very beginning. This was a story of self-discovery with a bit of romance. Holly’s journey in this book was fantastic. We see her go from a girl who thought of herself as unattractive to a gir......more
