I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 

I love the movie 10 Things I Hate About You – that is what I thought I was getting into! But, well... 

This book and I started off on the wrong foot: it opens with a food fight which I find so unrealistic and stupid. I expect it of elementary students, not high school students. Then Wren is blackmailed by her principal into tutoring Fuller who has an F in one class and they expect that an A on one assignment will give him an A in the class... that... that's not how grades work!
So, that was the first 20% where I'm confused on how this is real life. Also, every single person calls him Fuller James, not just Fuller... why?? 

I also had a problem with the timeline, inconsistencies (again in time that passed, character actions, & characters saying they did one thing when they actually did something else, etc.), and I really didn't like any of the characters. 

While there were cute moments, reading this book ended up being a waste of time.
