This one goes out to all the closet nerds.

I love this concept! When Cirrus Soh meets Sunny Dae, she mistakes his cool older brother’s room for his, with its guitars and band posters. Sunny, a nerd, lies and tells her he’s in a band. But when they start to fall for each other, he decides the only way out is to fully commit to the lie, forming a band to play in the talent show. But the lie keeps getting more complicated, especially when Sunny’s older brother Grey comes home.

I loved how Sunny and Cirrus, who have both often felt like outsiders, formed a connection. And I understood the instinct to pretend to be cooler than you really are. This was a cute teen romance that really nails the awkwardness of high school. It’s got true rom-com vibes, with first kisses and betrayals and, of course, Sunny’s big lie.

This is a fast, feel-good read that left me with a warm, fuzzy feeling.
