her good side is a young adult romance book described as swoony and heart melting. Was it a cute enough romance? Yes, but I didn't swoon and my heart didn't melt. This was far from my favorite romance. I'd recommend it if you want to read more YA romcoms or just read everything romance, but this didn't wow me. The romance is between Bethany, a girl who likes basketball and Jacob who likes film stuff. One thing I did really like about this book was the representation! I just wish the romance hadn't fallen short. I think the reason the romance was so lacking for me is because of how it started. Normally I love the fake dating trope, but I wasn't rooting for it here and there was some weird history with the guy dating her friend. I did like the side characters, there's also some queer representation. This book also showed healthy relationships between kids and parents which is rare.
