"⚠️ may contain spoilers ⚠️I have steered away from my usual horror, thriller, mysteries and splatter punk, for this cute 🏳️🌈💕(gay romance) story. We have Zack Martin, who starts off a push over to the already graduated or nearly graduated senior and captain of soccer team Ryan ( total d-bag btw ) who pulls a prank and asks Zack to take the blame. Stupidly Zack does, which gets him some kind of community service at a Seaside Conservation Center. And from there everything goes south.. with friends and soccer mates, even with his new crush Chip.. Chip- is the no other than the cousin of Ryan.. Chip is an environmentalist intern. Who doesn’t take to Zack right away. But like most of all good romances, they do spark.They both get on my nerves, but in a good way.. The story is cute and I would read more from this author!!!"

"I Like Me Better by Robby Weber is a sweet contemporary romance between two high-school boys- Zack, a soccer player and Chip, a seaside conservationist. It has elements of comedy and enemies-to-lovers (one of my favorite tropes of all time) as well as discussions on environmental and sealife conservation.
I liked Weber’s writing style, and the characters were well-developed, entertaining, and enjoyable. I particularly liked Zack, I found him to be a great main protagonist. I also liked Zack’s love interest Chip and Foster.
The plot of the novel was very well balanced with the romance- a problem I typically have with contemporaries. If you know me at all, you probably know that I’m not the biggest fan of contemporaries as I find them having an imbalance between the romance and the actual plot of the novel, or even lacking plot entirely. However, this was one of those contemporaries where I did not have this problem! This was a great mellow, summery novel.
I Like Me Better is a short, fast-paced contemporary romance I highly recommend this to fans of the Heartstopper novels by Alice Oseman! All in all, I really liked this novel. 4 out of 5 stars."
