Felix Ever After meets Becky Albertalli in this swoon-worthy, heartfelt rom-com about how a transgender teens first love challenges his ideas about perfect relationships. Noah Ramirez thinks hes an expert on romance. He has to be for his popular blog, the Meet Cute Diary, a collection of trans happily ever afters. Theres just one problemall the stories are fake. What started as the fantasies of a trans boy afraid to step out of the closet has grown into a beacon of hope for trans readers across the globe. When a troll exposes the blog as fiction, Noahs world unravels. The only way to save the Diary is to convince everyone that the stories are true, but he doesnt have any proof. Then Drew walks into Noahs life, and the pieces fall into place: Drew is willing to fake-date Noah to save the Diary. But when Noahs feelings grow beyond their staged romance, he realizes that dating in real life isnt quite the same as finding love on the page. In this charming novel by Emery Lee, Noah will have to choose between following his own rules for love or discovering that the most romantic endings are the ones that go off script.

The writing is good and I‘ll likely read more of Lee‘s work. But the main character in this one was such a whiny jerk that I didn‘t really care whether or not he got what he wanted in the end.

A formulaec, cute teen queer romance. Loved the trans, BIPOC, nonbinary/genderqueer/agender, and ace rep. The drama levels got out of hand a little at time to the point I was just rolling my eyes. Overall, though, it was really fun to watch Noah struggle with idealized thoughts of how romance works and watching him grow throughout. #LGBTQ #Romance

I should be prepping a presentation for an interview, but right now I'm audiobooking and snuggling one wet and cold (and angry) senior pommy after she needed a bath to wash some poop off. #Audiobook #DogsOfLitsy #BookPets

Noah is a very unlikable and entitled character even for a 16 year old. I really couldn't keep reading it, there were times when he was downright nasty to people he supposedly cared about

I was so excited about this book and yet it was the biggest let down. My biggest issue with the book was Noah. He was so entitled and only thought of himself. He couldn‘t even bother to be nice to his brother‘s girlfriend. Despite his brother being nothing but supportive and doing things for him. I loved Drew. But the thought of him being with Noah made me not even wanting to finish it.

This is a shockingly underrated book. It was SO GOOD. I hadn‘t understood the appeal of predictable romance novels until recently, but now the last two books I‘ve read have been romances. I have to say though, the love interests‘ names are Drew and Devin. I‘m sure you can see how that got confusing fast. But still, SO GOOD. 5🌟

This book is marketed solely as a fake-dating romance, when it‘s actually a total subversion of the trope. I did end up liking the romance once I understood what was actually happening, but that initial 1/3 had me confused & unhappy. I liked the narrative voice a lot, & Devin was utterly precious & had a particularly compelling journey. Unexpected, but still a cute story about learning sometimes life can be better than fairytales. ★★★☆☆.
