Publisher's Description

To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before meets Save the Date in this sweet and hijinks-filled rom-com about a teen girl who will do whatever it takes to find a date for her sister’s wedding.

Mia’s friends love rom-coms. Mia hates them. They're silly, contrived, and not at all realistic. Besides, there are more important things to worry about—like how to handle living with her bridezilla sister, Sam, who’s never appreciated Mia, and surviving junior year juggling every school club offered and acing all of her classes.

So when Mia is tasked with finding a date to her sister’s wedding, her options are practically nonexistent.

Mia’s friends, however, have an idea. It’s a little crazy, a little out there, and a lot inspired by the movies they love that Mia begrudgingly watches too.

Mia just needs a meet-cute.
 

My Thoughts

I received an eARC courtesy of Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers via Edelweiss in exchange for my honest review.

Overall, this is a solid addition to the YA romcom genre and I am giving it major applause for diversity. On the negative side, the ending. Did it make me happy? Yes. But it also seemed really abrupt. I guess it is a good sign that I wanted more story. I look forward to more from Rhiannon Richardson.

For Libraries: If you have fans of contemporary YA romance, you can't go wrong here.
