    About this ebook

    Pretty, popular Marijke Monti and over-achieving nerd-girl Lily Spencer have little in common-except that neither feels successful when it comes to love. Marijke can't get her boyfriend to say “I love you” and Lily can't get a boyfriend at all. When the girls end up at a late night showing of Titanic, sniffling along with the sinking ship, they realize that their love lives could-and should-be better. Which sparks an idea: Why can't life be like a movie? Why can't they create perfect romantic situations? Now they have a budding friendship and a plan-to act out grand gestures and get the guys of their dreams. It seems like fun at first, but reality turns out to be much more complicated, and they didn't take into account that finding true love usually requires finding yourself first.

      This was complete summer goodness. Two teenage girls find their love lives not living up to the movie standards, so they take matters into their own hands. As their big plans fall apart they begin to wonder if they'll ever find love like the in the movies.*I received an e-galley from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.*
