Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

Nora Bailey is a mess, on and off stage. A good kind of mess. The kind of mess that kisses the first person she sees after finding her ex cheating on her. Fake dating Wes, the boy who has been annoying her since they could speak, was not in the script that she’s been writing for her life. But she’s a romantic. And she knows there’s nothing better than a good plot twist.Wes Mackenzie is just as much a mess as Nora, if not messier. Running has been his greatest strength since he was a kid, but that also means running away from his problems; one of them being a six-four man who coaches his football team and is also his dad. When he continues pressuring Wes to quit his playboy act and fix his attitude on and off the field, he knows just the person who can help.Being a theatre major has its perks, so Nora is sure she can put on the performance of a lifetime to save her dignity as a star at Drayton. Wes is not so good at acting, but for her, he’d do just about anything. Including ignoring the very real feelings that he has for her while trying to keep her as a friend. When the final curtain closes, will either of them be able to put on their best faces or will their feelings for each other crash and burn right in front of the audience?

    Review:
    I loved this book. Wow yay I am so happy I received this ARC and that I read it!!! I encourage everyone to read it on release day tomorrow.

    Wes and Nora were SO cute. I love how Wes was so against relationships, except for when it came to Nora. Screeches in happiness!!! Wes was a great book boyfriend omg! Nora was so sweet and I loved her. I truly just love them! They start as best friends who fake date and then it all becomes real. Cue the flirting and silly banter! OMG and the invisible string by Taylor Swift reference omg yesssssss!!! Beside dating each other, both Wes and Nora faced personal issues that made them stronger as characters. I love how they were both described and how they grew throughout the story.

    Nora loved Hamilton. I LOVE Hamilton as well. I love the movie and I loved the live musical on the West End. Hehe it was amazing!!! Aaron Burr/Leslie Odom Jr was my favorite … teehee

    I hated Nora’s ex so much omg!
