135,789. That’s how many subscribers sixteen-year-old West Ryder has on his web vlog series. But he only has eyes for one of them. As one of the internet’s most prestigious video bloggers, West talks about high school relationships under the name “Sam Green.” As far as he knows, no one from school, not even his best friend, Cat, has seen his videos. But the highlight of the whole thing is Harper Knight, who comments every day at exactly 2:02 in the afternoon. He doesn’t know anything about her aside from the occasional deep philosophical messaging on why pizza tastes so delicious, but as stupid as it sounds, he might be falling for her. So when they finally agree to meet in real life, West’s hope for romance seems more and more in reach. But that all changes as soon as he arrives at their meeting spot and sees Cat walking toward him, wearing the same “I <3 Sam Green” T-shirt Harper promised she'd have on. To his alarm, West realizes he is falling in love with the best friend who has always been a sister to him.
The Review
4 ¾ stars
West and Cat are
adorable as best friends but they are fan flippin fantastic as a couple. You barely
get to see them as a couple but the epilogue is so sweet. If they act anything
like before, as friends, they will go a long way as a couple.
West is so funny
and smart but he acted like an idiot when he rejected Cat at the beginning. I loved
the premise of the book and the way it was executed. A girl falls in love with
her best friend and he doesn’t know what to do.
An example of
when West and Cat were being awesome is when they were at the ice cream shop. They
were being so sweet and adorable. The part that really got to me though was
when West broke down and went to his mother’s grave. He was really hurting and
he didn’t know what to do anymore. His dad was a jerk who didn’t care about him
and West was so lost. West didn’t know what to do about his feelings for Cat
but he called her anyway. HE called HER and she came. She held him when he
cried and she cared for him when no one else did!
Eventually West
comes to his senses and tells Cat he loves her. It made me very happy when I read
it. I was all warm and fuzzy when I read it.
