Publisher's Description

Home economics is supposed to be an easy A for Ellie Agresti, but, much like an imperfect souffle, her plans collapse epically when she's dumped by her boyfriend, Hunter. Now Ellie has to mend her broken heart while watching Hunter fawn all over his new girlfriend, Brynn, in class. To make matters worse, Ellie is partnered with four of the biggest misfit guys in school: Jeremy, the loudmouth with temper issues; Isaiah, the solemn, silent horse racing obsessive; Andrew, who can't take rejection; and Luke, the giant, tattooed stunt biker.

Over the course of a semester, Ellie works to overcome her feelings for Hunter, as well as deeper insecurities that have plagued her since middle school. As the weeks go by, she's surprised to find friendships in unexpected places... and sparks flying with the last guy she'd expect.

My Thoughts

I received an eARC courtesy of Swoon Reads via NetGalley & Edelweiss in exchange for my honest review.

I feel like I've fallen in this cycle of fairly heavy reads, and that made this a breath of fresh air. I didn't realize how much I need a lighter, predictable, teen rom-com.

I enjoyed the realism, the story and the happy ending-I needed it and I'm guessing there are at least a few teens at my library that need it too.

For Libraries: I think this is a perfect fit for your contemporary romance collections.
