Dating Makes Perfect

I'll tell you this. Do not go hungry into reading DATING MAKES PERFECT, lest you find yourself eating an entire bag of popcorn at 11:30 in the evening. Thanks so much to the author, Entangled Teen, and Hear Our Voices Book Tours for having me as a host and for the opportunity to read and review in advance.

The basic synopsis is that the Tech sisters have never been allowed to date. But then when our protagonist Winnie's sisters head off to college, they refuse to start dating. What ensues is a hare-brained plan for Winnie to “pretend date” her enemy Mat.

I adored this book. We get fake dating AND a friends to enemies to lovers plot with lots of spicy, eyebrow-waggly thoughts from both Winnie and Mat, our two protagonists. (I was like, “Despite nothing ~actually~ happening, everyone's thinking about sex A LOT”

This was kind of hit or miss for me. I think this author has a really charming writing style, and I loved the Thai cultural references and family dynamics. However, the romantic plot relied way too much on ridiculous misunderstandings and overreactions and neither boy's motivation really made sense to me.
