*I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for my honest review*

Head cheerleader Regina takes matters into her own hands when her star-athlete girlfriend Chloe is failing her English class. Gina enlists the help of the nerdy school mascot, Belle Hawkins, who just so happens to be hopelessly in love with her. As Chloe and Hawkins begin to spend more time together, they realize that they were friends in Kindergarten, and they start to reminisce about sweeter times.

THIS WAS SO STINKING CUTE I WANT TO CRY. I read it in one sitting, I didn't want to put it down. Belle and Chloe were both such sweet characters and I loved seeing them together. I love how much they grew together and apart in this. The overall message of friendship, self-acceptance and focusing on what makes you happy, was really well done. I loved the art style and the all-pink colour pallet. Highly recommend this one!
