Summary
A swoony, heart-melting YA romance from beloved author Rebekah Weatherspoon about two awkward teens who decide to practice dating in order to be good at the real thing. Perfect for fans of Nicola Yoon and Jenny Han.
Sixteen-year-old Bethany Greene, though confident and self-assured, is what they call a late-bloomer. She’s never had a boyfriend, date, or first kiss. She’s determined to change that but after her crush turns her down cold for Homecoming—declaring her too inexperienced—and all her back-up ideas fall through, she cautiously agrees to go with her best friend’s boyfriend Jacob. A platonic date is better than no date, right? Until her friend breaks up with said boyfriend.
Dumped twice in just two months, Jacob Yeun wonders if he’s the problem. After years hiding behind his camera and a shocking summer glow up, he wasn’t quite ready for all the attention or to be someone’s boyfriend. There are no guides for his particular circumstances, or for taking your ex’s best friend to the dance.
Why not make the best of an awkward situation? Bethany and Jacob decide to fake date for practice, building their confidence in matters of the heart.
And it works—guys are finally noticing Bethany. But things get complicated as their kissing sessions—for research of course!—start to feel real. This arrangement was supposed to help them in dating other people, but what if their perfect match is right in front of them?

So good!
THIS. Was. Everything!
Quite possibly the softest, most tender YA love story I’ve read in a hot minute and it centres around a fat black teenage girl who loves herself, has the most amazing set of friends, queer mums and a hot, sensitive Asian film-nerd BF?? I really need Netflix to wake up and adapt this as a movie because I can see it doing To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before Numbers. This was impossibly sweet but they really read like teenagers you know?
Having only read one other book by Rebekah, Rafe, just days before, I’m stunned at her range. Stunned, I tell you. This is an instant fave and classic for me.
