The romance in this book is so heart-seizingly cute. I love the development of the main characters' feelings and friendship. Ann Liang is really great at writing complex YA female leads. I love how Eliza has goals outside of the romance. She is serious about pursuing writing as a career, and she has an old friendship she wants to maintain.
