Laura is starting her senior year of high school and looking forward to spending time with her best friends. When she gets back after being gone all summer she finds out all of them have secured boyfriends. Being the third wheel she is forced to spend time with her nemesis James, who she defiantly does not like. At all. Especially since they have known each other all their life.
I enjoyed the language diversity of including Tagalog with the translations behind it. The author could have easily included it in the beginning and then tapered off but I enjoyed seeing it. Made the relationships between the family members seem deeper.
The title, format and chapters were fun and creative spin on being a third wheel. It was a fun read — I loved Lara and her struggles (she felt like such a real and relatable character) and I loved the ending. It was bittersweet but realistic and added another layer of charm to this book. The ending is what really sold this book for me.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for my honest review!
