Synopsis (from Goodreads):

An academic enemies-to-lovers YA with all the nerdy drama, high school antics, and heartpounding romance of the Netflix original series Never Have I Ever

Since high school began, Alison Sanger and Ethan Molloy have competed on almost everything. AP classes, the school paper, community service, it never ends. If Alison could avoid Ethan until graduation, she would. Except, naturally, for two over-achieving seniors with their sights on valedictorian and Harvard, they share all the same classes and extracurriculars. So when their school’s principal assigns them the task of co-planning a previous class’s ten-year reunion, with the promise of a recommendation for Harvard if they do, Ethan and Alison are willing to endure one more activity together if it means beating the other out of the lead.

But with all this extra time spent in each other’s company, their rivalry begins to feel closer to friendship. And as tension between them builds, Alison fights the growing realization that the only thing she wants more than winning…is Ethan.

My review:

Thank you Penguin Teen Canada for the copy of this book.

Read if you like: YA Rom Coms, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before.

This book was super cute. It revolves around two high school rivals, Alison and Ethan, and how they figure out that beneath the competition and hate, they might have feelings for one another. I really liked the competitive nature between the two characters, and how they sometimes realized that their competitions were immature sometimes.
–
One thing that I would have liked to have seen more of is the relationship between the two characters and a bit more of the development. I still enjoyed it, but I kinda wanted a bit more romance!
–
CW: mild sexual content, ending of a long term relationship.
