Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for providing me with a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
Goodreads Synopsis
Mai Senn knows Anthony Adams is no good for her - no matter how hard she might crush on him. She’s valedictorian; he’s a surf bum. She’s got plans, he’s got his art. Complete opposites in every way. Vinegar and baking soda, they once joked. A chemical reaction that bubbled.
Yeah, they bubbled. Maybe still do.
Good thing Anthony’s got the perfect plan: two weeks to prove just how not good they are together. Whoever can come up with the worst date—something the other will seriously hate, proving how incompatible they truly are—wins.
Like taking a snake-phobe to the Reptile House at the zoo (his idea).
Or a cooking class where they don’t even get to eat the food (her idea).
It’s all about the competition, and it’s meant to help them finally crush their crushes. But it wasn’t supposed to be so hot. Or so fun. And when Mai’s future becomes at stake, will she be able to do the right thing and quit Anthony forever?
Review
I cannot tell you how happy I was when I got a notification that this book was up on NetGalley! I loved the first one and couldn’t wait to delve back into this world but this time focusing on the lives of Mai and Anthony.
This can be read as a standalone but it will spoil Announcing Trouble!
I found myself completely addicted to this story and ended up reading it in one sitting. I could not put this book down and I was so desperate to find out how their story finished. This book made me laugh, it made me smile and it also made me tear up.
I absolutely love these characters and Amy Fellner Dominy has a way of making them feel so realistic and relatable. It’s almost as if these characters, including Josie and Garrett are actually a part in my everyday life. I love the use of dual perspectives as it really helped me understand each characters motives and reactions!
My only qualm with this book is how short it was. I could have easily have read hundreds of pages more of Mai and Anthony’s story. I would have loved to have seen more ‘worst dates’ as I’m a sucker for them!
Overall this was such an enjoyable, light-hearted and cute romance that I recommend reading (but read Announcing Trouble first!) I cannot wait to see what Amy Fellner Dominy comes out with next!
Rating: 4/5 stars
