I really enjoyed this fat-positive, queer-positive book! If you love teenage fake dating, this is where it's at.
Bethany is a teenager with a dream. That dream is not basketball. Even though she is amazing at it. And her moms and sisters are all basketball legends or soon-to-be legends. Bethany wants to cook. But how do you tell basketball die-hards that you don't want to play ball?
That's just one aspect of this book. Another is that Bethany is known as "Cry-Baby Bethany" from a silly little incident freshman year that has carried through to junior year. But Bethany has discovered boys (and sex) aren't as icky as she thought and she's ready to discover more!
A plan is concocted between Bethany and twice-dumped-in-two-months quiet boy Jacob Yeun. A plan to figure how to be good girlfriends and boyfriends for other people. What could go wrong?
I laughed, I yelled, I cried. This was such a sweet YA romcom. The side characters were fun and enjoyable. This was my first Rebekah Weatherspoon novel but it surely won't be my last.
