The Best Laid Plans feels like all of my favorite, classic teen rom-coms with a fresh, updated spark. It is simultaneously familiar and excitingly new. This is the kind of story that will be just as satisfying and delightful reading it for the thousandth time as it was reading it for the first time.
I don’t think I have enough time to fully delve into how much I loved both Keely and Andrew. Their relationship was perfect. Both of them are so strong and lovely characters in their own right and, as someone who was absolutely obsessed with movies in high school (I wanted to be a screenwriter for years, was president of the Film Club, used to listen to movie scores to fall asleep), I adored Keely and saw so much of myself in her. Okay, fine, that’s false—I saw so much of the cool, film-obsessed girl I wish I’d been in her. But still.
The banter was so perfect that I felt butterflies. This book is so infectiously delightful that I felt giddy, knowing how perfect Keely and Andrew were for each other. Also, for all the folks out there who are in love with Peter Kavinsky—you will LOVE Andrew. Lines like, “C’mon Collins, you wouldn’t date me?” made me want to smack him because I loved him so much. Andrew has that Peter K. confidence and teasing personality that is just so swoon worthy.
I never wanted this book to end. This was perfect and delightful and everything I wanted and needed in a story. I would like to personally buy every single human a copy for when they need some joy in their life. Cameron Lund has just become a new auto-buy author for me.
In sum, I love this book more than pizza.
