Felix Ever After meets Becky Albertalli in this swoon-worthy, heartfelt rom-com about how a transgender teen's first love challenges his ideas about perfect relationships. Noah Ramirez thinks he's an expert on romance. He has to be for his popular blog, the Meet Cute Diary, a collection of trans happily ever afters. There's just one problem--all the stories are fake. What started as the fantasies of a trans boy afraid to step out of the closet has grown into a beacon of hope for trans readers across the globe. When a troll exposes the blog as fiction, Noah's world unravels. The only way to save the Diary is to convince everyone that the stories are true, but he doesn't have any proof. Then Drew walks into Noah's life, and the pieces fall into place: Drew is willing to fake-date Noah to save the Diary. But when Noah's feelings grow beyond their staged romance, he realizes that dating in real life isn't quite the same as finding love on the page. In this charming novel by Emery Lee, Noah will have to choose between following his own rules for love or discovering that the most romantic endings are the ones that go off script.

MC is 16, pampered, sheltered, and from a relatively wealthy family so... the character is expectedly pretty emotionally immature. He's an a**hole to the people who care about him. There was some character development and I'm sure he's on the road toward emotional depth and empathy in his 20's but the book is not that long...
Devin is precious and I wish eir story line had started sooner. E's the only reason I finished tbh. I relate.
i'm giving this book a 4.75, there was poc rep & trans/gay-lesbian/ace rep, it felt very inclusive & the overall story was adorable, it was quite predictable but like, obviously, this would definitely be a comfort read for me later on, i really did enjoy this story a lot it's super light & fun and just overall a good time, i also listened to it on audiobook which was nice as well :)
DNF @ 51%.
I appreciate what this book was trying to achieve and I liked the diary aspect of it but my main issue is the main character. Not only is he immature and self centred but are we really expected to believe a 16 year old would be looking for love so much?? Sorry but I just couldn't get my head around it. If the character had been 19/20 it would have been much more believable and enjoyable.
