I originally found this book through a friend, he showed me a photo of it in his school library, and I thought 'huh that book looks really cute.. I should get it.' So I did. I am very glad I did too, because it is so good. The characters are so cute, and ironically, so is the meet cute. Now, Noah did get on my nerves a little bit, but every book needs drama and it worked. I love how it takes place in a busy setting because it adds to the craze and fun of the book. Highly recommend it.
Noah Ramirez thinks he’s an expert on romance. He has to be for his popular blog, the Meet Cute Diary, a collection of trans happily ever afters. There’s just one problem—all 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, Noah’s world unravels. The only way to save the Diary is to convince everyone that the stories are true, but he doesn’t have any proof. Then Drew walks into Noah’s life, and the pieces fall into place: Drew is willing to fake-date Noah to save the Diary. But when Noah’s feelings grow beyond their staged romance, he realizes that dating in real life isn’t 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.
