HAPPY BOOK BIRTHDAY TO THIS GORGEOUS BOOK!!!
"A particularly important young woman has shown signs that she’s ready to select a partner, so two of you have to be sent in right away. We’re looking for a boy-next-door Nice and a mysterious, tortured-soul Bad.”
"Aren’t they always?"
4.5 stars!!
If you weren't already so excited for this book, YOU NEED TO BE! ADD THIS TO YOUR TBR ASAP THIS BOOK IS GREAT. It's such a cool concept and it was executed amazingly. The first 90% of this book is completely original even though the last 10% are a littttleeee bit dystopian cliche. Which is okay. I can deal with that much. The first 90% definitely made up for it.
If you didn't already know, in this book we follow two spies who work for the company The Love Interest. Basically their job is to spy on a future influential person by becoming their love interests. We follow Dyl (a bad) and Caden (a nice) who have been assigned to Juliet, a freaking future genius, while she is still in high school. In the end, only one boy can be Juliet's love interest for the rest of her life and the other is removed from the situation and potentially killed.
""No one finds the love of their life while they're a teenager."
"You haven't read any YA novels recently, have you?"
This whole entire book basically pokes fun at different YA stereotypes and discusses so much pop culture. We have a classic bad boy who does all of the bad boy things. Dylan has to be dark and moody and totally underestimated, while Caden has to be cute and awkward. They're literally trained to be this perfect mould of a person and it really does take a toll on both of these characters. While they should be falling for Juliet, they realise they are really falling for each other.
Overall, this book is refreshing and utterly riveting. I would 200% recommend this book. It's so so worth the hype!!
I received an eARC but obviously all of my thoughts are my own

"Let's be real, if I was Juliet I'd be falling hardcore for Dyl and would probably be thinking Caden who?!"

@Farith ITS WORTH THE WAIT
THIS MAKES ME SO HAPPY
Virtual high five! I'm excited to read your full review! <3
@Josh so good! Thanks Josh!!
I could be wrong but I think that by the last line of the blurb that says 'feelings that could get them killed'.... it implies those boys turn out gay for each other.
@Jasmine it does indeed mean that!
This book was really great.
the cover is beautiful at least, took my interest
