Which gets me frustrated and really sad.
Apart from that, I really liked this book, and I enjoyed the ending so much! I'm glad I finished it. Omg, more people should be talking about this book. Very cute, happy ending, lots of The L Word references. View all 3 comments. I was thinking, somewhere near the end, that this seemed like more of a 4 something star book than a 5. If I had recalled and rejected whatever my initial thought was, I could happily mark this a five.
Not counting the epilogue, the book ends roughly at that point as well. Including the epilogue it ends 2 weeks later. So — this book involves Sarah Cooper and Katie Hammontree, high school seniors in a small town in Georgia. They are the kind of people you might spot who seem to always be connected at the hip.
Have been since at least kindergarten. Though it can be misinterpreted by outsiders and, for that matter, those inside. Katie, while walking home from school, runs into this big jock guy who is bullying a fellow male student. Katie puts a stop to it. Jake, the kid who had been in the process of being bully-ed, has a severely bruised lip. Fast forward to about 30 seconds before the start of this unnamed club — Katie, Sarah and Jake are standing outside a door. They stare at each other. Then Sarah gets this calculating look in her eyes okay, I might be making up that part, she did come up with a plan though.
Sarah pulls Katie in and they meet the club. And so, the book unfolds from there. I figured that whatever it was that was holding me back from giving a five star rating would pop up and I could tackle it. I liked Katie and Sarah. The plot was solid. There was enough of an end-story to fill me in. Maybe they could end up at college together? And yes, that did pop up in my mind — the fact that one, Katie, planned on going to a local college, and the other would be going to some further away place.
Tbh best lesbian rom-com-y book I've read in a long time! You don't know how many teen lesbian books I've read that start out all cute and then end in disaster for no reason. But not this one! The main characters were adorable together and awesomely snarky and the side characters are just as lovable. Only prob I had was a few typos, but there weren't enough to detract from the story.

Yes, the premise is basically Faking It, but it's executed so differently and SO much better. Jan 09, Yuri rated it it was amazing Shelves: I think I kind of lowered my expectations for books, but this one definitely brought them up. It's a really cute and funny story, and it is easy to read, which for me is like winning the lottery because English is my second language. I will absolutely re-read this, and I totally recommend for you to read it if you like happy endings.
Apr 02, Julia rated it really liked it Shelves: And I didn't do anything! I just loved another girl. I couldn't look away. There was something in her eyes I'd never seen before. They are flawed, and bad at Choices, so you feel for them, and get frustrated with them, and love them all the more for it.
Loved it, especially the happy ending. I figured that whatever it was that was holding me back from giving a five star rating would pop up and I could tackle it. This is Faking-It done right. There was enough of an end-story to fill me in. The story is really well written, very realistic, with angst that anyone could relate to strangely enough, I felt like the issue was more about falling in love with someone you think doesn't feel the same, than realising you're gay , and quite a lot of funny moments too! What other items do customers buy after viewing this item?
Clever meta is peppered all over it, and I love how Siera Maley never makes you doubt she will give us the happy ending we deserve. It's clear that it's written by a woman who loves women, it shows in a million little things. This book was a quick, easy read, that warmed my heart. You want to spend an afternoon with a soft book about two girls falling in love??? Also, shout out for not being afraid to use labels.
This book doesn't shy from labels being helpful in self-identification, and how lgbtq people, as a community, can rely on each other. I appreciated all the little scenes of queer characters leaning on one another, even when they didn't have much in common.
I've had the joy of recommending this book probably at least once a week since I read it, because fluffy f/f YA can be super hard to come by (as. Dating Sarah Cooper has ratings and reviews. Katie Hammontree Friend Reviews. To see what your friends thought of this book, please sign up.
I can relate to that A Lot. Girl meets girl, girls fall in love, and as far as I know, no one dies or goes back to men or gets pregnant, or any combination of the three. I'm determined to get my happy ending.
Sarah nodded proudly and tucked the book into the bag hanging off her shoulder. It features both the fake dating trope and the best friends to lovers trope. It's funny, it's cute, and it's romantic. Characterization and proper arcs are not here at all the proofreader also seemed to take the day off and certain actions and inner monologues make little sense. This also suffers from the problem of a very passive protagonist. Cute fluff and not much more. Nov 10, M. I can like girls; that's fine, but I don't want to get my heart broken.
I'd like to like someone who will like me back, you know? So it was no surprise that I enjoyed this one as much as all the others. Dating Sarah Cooper is a story about two best friends who are confused as girlfriends by other people. They decide to go with it after bei "I've seen enough movies to know what happens when you fall for your straight best friend.
Of course, after a lot of pinning from each side, they end up having feelings for each other. This is a funny book with many incredible moments such as supportive parents and the whole 'oh, so kissing girls is actually nice! But it also has a lot of meaning about figuring out your sexuality and how the world sees LGBT people. My experience so far hasn't been great, I find the stories lacking a lot the time, they are usually okay concepts but just not well executed. This book was a breath of fresh air, the characters were likeable and relatable.
The story was engaging and exciting, the balance was just right, it didn't feel like I was reading a "lesbian lo So as an LGBT person I am always very skeptical about LGBT fiction, especially "lesbian love stories". The story was engaging and exciting, the balance was just right, it didn't feel like I was reading a "lesbian love story" but a love story that happened to involve two girls.
Siera Maley has a talent for building scenes, tension and creating unique and captivating characters. For big fans of Faking It, I suggest reading this, though it will leave you feeling much more satisfied than the series which let's be honest, can be a little shallow. Whether you're gay, bi, questioning, straight or just trying to find your identity as a person in the world, it's the perfect blend of humor, romance, suspense and fun.
Gah, this book was freaking a-dor-a-ble. Jan 26, C. Lovely A really well written novel that reads from the first person perspective, this really helps to put yourself into the main characters shoes and allows the empathy to flow, making the story all the more real.
A super cute, fluffy YA lesbian contemporary. A happy ending and a super-duper shippable romance. I will be reading more of Siera Maley's books for sure. I wish there was more about after the winter formal. May 14, kory. Going into this book I had an idea that it was going to be Faking It in book form. The show aired in April of and the book was published in June of the same year, although I saw someone say it had been written years before?
So, either way, it was Faking It in book form in my mind. But no character in this book compares to Amy Raudenfeld, one of my favorite characters ever. It even got described as "Faking It done right" and honestly, just because the two girls who were faking end up togeth Going into this book I had an idea that it was going to be Faking It in book form. It even got described as "Faking It done right" and honestly, just because the two girls who were faking end up together doesn't make it better than Faking It, in my opinion.
Because on Faking It, one of the two girls who faked being gay is the actual worst person and friend and I didn't want them to end up together. If the show hadn't been cancelled, they would have gotten together, but ultimately realize that they're better as friends.
