Band Geek vs Quarterback...
One humiliating photo, a stupid prank, and a hashtag that goes viral. That's how my senior year goes from predictable to absurd in a heartbeat. This year is supposed to be easy. I've finally scored first chair in band, my college applications are done, and all my friends and I have to do is survive one more year of high school before our real lives can begin. Instead, I find myself in trouble with the principal, humiliated in front of the entire school, and fighting with my neighbor—AKA star quarterback, Prince Charming, and nicest guy on the planet.
And that's just on the first day back at school. Trust me, it only gets worse from there. As #GeeksGoneWild trends on social media, my friends and I are the targets of an online witch hunt. But they've picked on the wrong people and retaliation is severe. As the tension escalates, it soon becomes clear that someone needs to step up and put an end to this nonsense. If that means playing nice with the quarterback, I guess that's what I have to do. Now if someone could please tell my heart that this new friendship is just for show. And the kisses...oh, the kisses. Someone please remind me that they don't mean a thing.

MY REVIEW
DISCLAIMER: This review MAY contain spoilers. This book was such a little delight! The nerd inside me could not resist a contemporary story from a series titled "Geeks Gone Wild". I wasn't disappointed. This is the first book that I have read by this author, but it won't be the last.
I really enjoyed this book and I read it in a single sitting. As far as fluffy young adult contemporary romance goes, this book falls right in line. It had all the fluffy feels but was still a light read. Perhaps too light for my tastes, but I still enjoyed the story. I would have liked a little more drama or interaction between the characters. The story was enjoyable, but it felt too short.
I loved the dual POV. I liked seeing things from both Margo and Jason's viewpoint as the story progressed. The characters were wonderful, though I wish we could have gotten to know them on a deeper level. Especially the side characters. I wanted more of Luke, Matt, Suzie, Julia, and even Dale. It felt like we only got a glimpse of them in the book. If they had been incorporated into the story more I think that it would have filled the gap that left the story feeling too short. Apart from that, I truly enjoyed Margo and Jason's characters. I just wish that the characters had been more memorable.
I loved the plot of the story. It was pretty irresistible. I love childhood friends/neighbors to lovers stories. I love all the history and connection that the characters share in these kinds of stories. And the fact that Margo and Jason grew apart and into opposite sides of the social hierarchy spectrum made it all the more entertaining. I also liked the inclusion of the epilogue.
Overall, this was an adorable book with likable characters. The book is a bit fluffy and a little on the short side but still enjoyable. This is a perfect light YA contemporary read. I have already started the next book in this series!
