A pair of fierce foes are forced to work together to save the arts at their school in this “enemies-to-lovers rom-com of my dreams” (Rachel Lynn Solomon, author of Today Tonight Tomorrow) that fans of Jenny Han and Morgan Matson are sure to adore.Lifelong rivals Natalie and Reid have never been on the same team. So when their school’s art budget faces cutbacks, of course Natalie finds herself up against her nemesis once more. She’s fighting to direct the school’s first ever student-written play, but for her small production to get funding, the school’s award-winning band will have to lose it. Reid’s band. And he’s got no intention of letting the show go on. But when their rivalry turns into an all-out prank war that goes too far, Natalie and Reid have to face the music, resulting in the worst compromise: writing and directing a musical. Together. At least if they deliver a sold-out show, the school board will reconsider next year’s band and theater budget. Everyone could win. Except Natalie and Reid. Because after spending their entire lives in competition, they have absolutely no idea how to be co-anything. And they certainly don’t know how to deal with the feelings that are inexplicably, weirdly, definitely developing between them…

"It has been uncomfortably long since I have read a YA contemporary romance book (by which I mean there's probably a random one in my recent history somewhere but basically June, at which time I was not into any of the ones I was reading). An eternity. And I liked this one a lot. Quite a lot. I think it's the musical theatre but also I don't know it's just been so long since I've read good YA romance. I needed this and all their intense feelings.<br/><br/>Personally I prefer this to What I Like About You."

"I couldn't even finish this book. I thought of the leads more as siblings and Natalie was unbearable. The "pranks" they pulled on each other weren't funny, they were just mean. There were too many typos for my liking as well. I had high expectations for this book because I love theatre and enemies to lovers. Good Jewish and LGBTQ+ representation and I loved Fitz, but that was about it. "
"DNF. This is just bleh. Super angry narrative"
