This book was cute. I am an adult that enjoys YA and usually, I like to read socially related YA, but this contemporary book focused on the so important prom (I remember that well) was a nice change of pace. Did not shatter any amazing records, but was engaging.

Operation Prom Date is told by Kate and Cooper. Kate wants to go to prom with the star of the football team but she has very little experience with guys. So she enlists Cooper in a mission to get guys to recognize her. Cooper needs Kate to help him get ready for his rowing competition so he figures it is an even trade. Along the way Cooper falls for Kate in this classic chick lit story. Readers will really like that the Cooper and Kate relationship plays out throughout the entire novel. But it is hard to buy that Kate is so bright mathematically and so dumb when it comes to Cooper really liking her.

Kate and Cooper are adorable in this fun read about the desires we have the way we don't always work out the way we plan. Cooper decides to help Kate in her plan to grab her crush for a prom date if Kate helps him to prepare for a race he is hoping to win. This fun to read story follows Kate and Cooper as they aren't sure what is happening in their changing relationship as their friendship grows. This story deals with relationships and love, but also the struggle we sometimes face with parents and friends. I look forward to more by this author!

Gotta say I absolutely loved this book!!! I think one of the most fluffiest books I have ever read and Iv read a good amount of contemporary's. But starts off Kate is a lonely no body that talks to her pet dragon as a friend named after a guy from a tv show. Till one day she is outside watching the football players practice and is staring at the most popular all star quarterback Mack. And all she has over wanted to do is date him. Other pov character is Cooper thru by chance over the years on summer vacation has been aquinted with Kate, and notices her staring, and walks over to chat and get talking of Mack. so work out a deal since his rowing partner is injured needs practices in exchange he will help her land her boy crush Mack and want to go to prom with her.

So some things I loved about this book is it's sooo fluffy cute like all the quirky odd ball things Kate is in to Cooper doesn't judge and will tolerate it and joke around and learning of relationships of characters of tv shows while Kate helps Cooper slowly organize things in his life and how to take a chill pill. The things I sometimes I'll never understand is why does one person have to change who they are to date another person or to even get a chance and it does happen in today's day and age. Another I said above is the pop culture references that at times mares things laugh like my own is extremely olicity from arrow which is the ship of felicity and Oliver McQueen. So hope this review helps and feel this no matter what will be extremely top book/ contempory for the year. Lasts years book was tell me three things read in April ended the year near the top.

100/5 ~~~~~~ JUSTIN

Cutest book ever!

I feel like I should write a review full of emoji and memes and pop culture references.

The MCs were the best kind of sweet, adorable and funny, with great "voices".

I definitely need to read more by this author immediately.

If you ever need a good ol' teenage movie with that particular kind of drama and a particular kind of angst that assail teens finding their footing in college and adulthood, I'd say 'Operation Prom Date' is the best fix for it.

There's nothing unpredictable about the story but there are also no surprises that threw me off and left me clinging on a cliff's edge. The friends-to-more trope is tackled here and there really isn't a waiting time where one party is suddenly hit in the head about how attractive the other person is. Instead, I was struck by how natural Cooper and Kate were as they went from barely knowing each other to liking each other...and how attraction simply came because they talked and did things together, which is more than what I can even say for some of the more 'adult' books I've read where mature characters regressed in age.

The honest truth is, I enjoyed this more than I thought I would. With characters that behaved their age and some storm-in-a-teacup moments, stories like these have that propensity to make me look back with those rose-tinted glasses I thought I'd misplaced long ago.

This was another cutest book, and I finished it one sitting. I wasn't a fan of the name dropping, but there were cute moments intertwined.
