Dating the It Guy by Krysten Lindsay Hager

4 out of 5 Stars

It wasn’t the happy ending I was expecting but it was perfect. Emme and Brendon found out that being true to yourself was the best way to be there for each other.

Emme is a 15 year old girl that recently had gotten dumped in a harsh way by her older boyfriend. She is shy about starting to date again. When Brendon, the super hot senior, gets assigned as her partner in a summer class she didn’t even want to take, sparks start to fly. Emme and Brendon seem to have so much alike going on in their lives despite living in separate worlds. When all the trappings of high school start dragging on the couple, will Emme and Brendon make it?

The topics of loss, grief, family expectations are not just topics with which high schoolers deal. These topics affect us even as adults. The way Emme and Brendon figure out how to navigate the emotions is way beyond their years. The conversation between Emme and Brendon in the last chapter was heart-breaking but endearing all at the same time. The way the book ended was perfect! I hope that there is a part two in the works to know what happens next!!
