Two girls embark on a summer of montage-worthy dates (with a few strings attached) in this hilarious and heartfelt lesbian rom-com that's perfect for fans of Becky Albertalli and Jenny Han. Seventeen-year-old cynic Saoirse Clarke isn't looking for a relationship. But when she meets mischievous Ruby, that rule goes right out the window. Sort of. Because Ruby has a loophole in mind: a summer of all the best cliché movie montage dates, with a definite ending come fall--no broken hearts, no messy breakup. It would be the perfect plan, if they weren't forgetting one thing about the Falling in Love Montage: when it's over, the characters have fallen in love...for real. Ciara Smyth's debut is a delightful, multilayered YA rom-com that will make you laugh, cry, and absolutely fall in love.

I read the word “nipples” in this book more than I have read it in a harry styles fan fiction.
crazy.
It was a solid story but its a shame the characters (except for Oliver!) were horrible people!
Saoirse is a moody teen but she crossed a line.. many times. Like, who is mean to an old man for no reason? Who yells at someone who is about to walk down the aisle at their wedding?
I didn't finish
It was good, i don't really remember the details since I read it months ago but i do remembered thinking that the protagonist needed help asap.
I dropped it when the couple got together for good (without the game in between). I didn't really wanna read the ramble about the departure.
Nice book tho may give it another change when i want to read angst
when I say to you i cried like a bitch reading the last 50 or so pages and listening to watch you sleep. by girl in red
There's something about reading a romance novel with the main characters breaking up in the end that just hits different. I really loved seeing their relationship grow and them even falling in love with each other, enough to when they fell out, they still decided to come back together to finish off what they started.
I like how this book gave me a slightly different perspective on passing relationships. I also like the premis of the “falling in love montage” because honestly, its so true.
I think it was really cute showing Saorise at university and meeting Veronica, who we don't exactly know much about except for the last half of the final chapter, showing her possibly having feelings for her. I definitely think this book wouldn't have the same effect on me if Saoirse and Ruby did end up staying together.
