This YA romance is perfect for Lynn Painter fans, with a swoony friends-to-lovers plot, romcom banter, and a meme-worthy “problem” that only the best boyfriend can fix! Hopeless romantic Kiki isn’t looking for meet‐cutes—they just find her. While her best friend Manny is blissfully locked in with his longtime girlfriend until she dumps him. When Kiki suggests that maybe Manny is better off skipping the relationship drama, he wonders if she has ever truly been in love. A certified lover girl, Kiki vows to prove him wrong. Her next relationship will be The One. But with graduation looming and both of them tangled up with other people, Kiki realizes she’s stuck with the worst timing of all: realizing she might be in love with her best friend…a little too late. For the chronically online romantic: Admit it, we’ve all wished that the TikTok “Cat Distribution System” TikToks memes applied to boyfriends. Set out for vindication, stumble into love: Proving her best friend wrong was the plan—falling for him was the plot twist. Senior year’s last-call for romance: Kiki and Manny have one final chance to realize the tension isn’t “platonic.”
