Publisher's Summary
Three's a crowd, but four's a war.
Big girl undies? Check. Speech planned? Check. Nerves of steel? Check. A single crush? Not check?
What do you do when you find your best friend/crush kissing your other best friend on the day you were going to declare your feelings for him? You only agree to fake date your crush's rival.
The King of the Bows, popular golden (play)boy, and all around douche, Xander wouldn't be my last choice for a boyfriend. Across the school, battlelines are drawn, and sides are taken between the new "it" couple of my former best friends and the excitingly scandalous pairing of me and King Douche.
Xander keeps distracting me from the plan: Make Jason jealous. He insists on holding my hand and kissing me and being nice. Ugh. Xander's not nice, and he's not the relationship type, but he's doing a damned good job of acting both parts. He calls it "keeping up appearances". I call it "take one more pass at my arse, and I'll break your nose".
They say all's fair in love and war, but what's so fair about falling for the wrong guy when your two best friends are on the other side of the battlelines?

I loved how Australian it was!
This story is full of very familiar tropes, but it was done well enough to keep me captivated. And I couldn’t help but be enchanted by the familiarity of the language, locations, and rhythms of school life—something I’m not used to as an Aussie who’s used to reading books set in the States. I was impressed by Shiromi’s voices and narration as well, especially given she isn’t Australian herself.
In terms of content, it was fairly clean in overall substance although a bit cruder in language than most of the teen romances I usually read. But while that doesn’t fit my personal preference (or how I talked as a teen) it felt pretty natural for an Australian setting and was much lighter than some of the adult romances I’ve read.

Performance was great, story is alright...
The main character is frustrating, treating the male lead as her own personal punching bag for the whole series, just too toxic for my liking. Whenever she's having a bad day, or something bad happen, guess who is there is make her happy? Guess who is always the one getting yelled at when things are not going her way? Like, I understand that they are supposed to be in high school, but that's not the ideal relationship I want to read about.
