HOW TO QUIT YOUR CRUSH is a fun YA contemporary romance. The book follows Maya (Mai) and Anthony, who seem to come from different worlds. They have recently graduated from high school, and Maya has big plans for her future- plans she is afraid to deviate from. She was adopted as an infant, and carries a lot of feelings around that adoption. She is desperate to fit in with her family, and so, she lets her parents have strong sway over her actions- so that she can be the perfect Senn.

Anthony is an athlete whose life was thrown for a loop when his father died. Now, he can't imagine making any plans and has a hard time connecting with other people. He lives each day as it comes, and is planning a semi-unplanned trip to take his father's urn for the traveling his father spoke about when he was alive. He has not thought about college or what he wants out of his future long-term.

Mai and Anthony seem like oil and water, but they feel an intense pull towards the other. When Anthony proposes a two-week fling to get each other out of their heads, Mai agrees- and they begin to plan dates the other will hate. However, that seems to be tough to accomplish, when they both enjoy being with the other so much.

This book was delicious tension and so much chemistry, it heated up every scene the two were in together. Each has a big hurdle around parents and growing up that they must overcome to be able to be with each other. There are a lot of great points about love, family, and balance that shine through their stories. Overall, this was a highly enjoyable romance read with a couple that was exceptionally easy to cheer for. This series is really fantastic, and this book (stand-alone) is heartwarming and steamy tension (kisses only, second base mentioned/not described) and loads of fun.

Please note that I received an ARC from the publisher through netgalley. All opinions are my own.

This had all of the makings of a great YA book. Some unrequited love, possible love triangle, forbidden love, parental interference, and secrets. Seriously a perfect recipe for a YA love story. I enjoyed Mai and Anthony's stories and interactions. It was a quick and to the point story. I would definitely read more about them.

Mai was valedictorian, a National Merit Scholar and was accepted to the college of her dreams. She's logical, she's organized, and she follows the rules. Anthony, on the other hand, played baseball in school but has no plans for the future, and he's perfectly happy that way. He likes to try new things and take risks, two things Mai hates with a passion. They're pretty much wrong for each other in every single way, but their chemistry just won't seem to go away. They saw each other for two short weeks in the spring before she called it off because she knew she'd never end up with a guy like him. When they bump into each other at a graduation party, though, it's clear they have unfinished business. So they decide to try a 2-week "fling" to remind themselves exactly why they're wrong for each other. They'll go on dates designed to make each other miserable, wear clothes the other person will hate, and intentionally drive each other crazy in the hopes that they can force themselves to get over it. But maybe the fact that they're opposites actually makes them perfect for each other....

I liked the first book in this series and really hoped that Mai would get her own story. I'm so glad she did, and it was even better than I expected. Mai feels like she has to be perfect in order to deserve her place with her adopted family, but there is a whole other side to her just dying to be let free: the side that wears bright red lipstick and makes decisions for herself. Anthony lets her be who she really is because he has no expectations from her, and that's something Mai has never experienced with anyone in her life. He's got his own baggage, because he's still grieving the loss of his dad and is afraid to plan for a future that might never happen. But these two call each other on their BS and bring out the best in each other. Their banter is HILARIOUS and the swoon is off-the-charts. I just love the two of them together.

I'm not sure where this series might go from here, but I do hope this isn't the last we see of these characters.

How to Quit Your Crush will most likely be on my blog this week or next week. Thank you publishers and Netgalley for allowing me the chance to read it. This was a four star rating.

This book was provided by the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Thank you Entangled: Crush!

How to Quit Your Crush is an Opposites Attract Young Adult Romance about Mai and Anthony.

I was so excited when Entangled Publishing contacted whether I was interested in reviewing How to Quit Your Crush, because I loved Announcing Trouble. I obviously couldn’t say no and I was so happy that I got to read an ARC copy of How to Quit Your Crush. The story was so fast paced, and I couldn’t stop smiling the entire time.

How to Quit Your Crush is about Mai and Anthony who dated for a little while but broke things off because they were so different. But they can’t get each other out of their heads… I think that this story was so cute and just everything that I needed. I really liked Anthony because he tried to show Mai that it’s okay to want things. And I just loved the effort Mai and Anthony put in their ‘horrible’ dates.

How to Quit Your Crush was such a good read and I didn’t expect anything else from Amy Fellner Dominy. I really liked Announcing Trouble so it was no surprise that I was going to love this book. I really enjoyed reading How to Quit Your Crush and I cannot wait to read some more books by Amy Fellner Dominy!

This is my first book from this author and I enjoyed it a lot. The characters were good, the story-line was great and the writing was fantastic. There was never a moment where I wanted to quit reading this story. I was intrigued from beginning to end. I especially loved Anthony, he was funny, sweet. carefree and charming and had you rooting for him. Maya "Mai" was a good character. I thought she was a little judgmental at times but after you really get to know her character, you get to understand why she acted the way she did and you feel sorry for her. It's hard to live up to the standards that people place on you but there comes a time when you must decide if you want to live up to their standards or yours. Josie, Garrett, Tucker, Cooper and Grant were great side characters. I'm I'm still not sure how I feel about Ethan and his parents but I loved Anthony's mom. I laughed a lot while reading this story. It really is a sweet and funny romance read that will brighten your day and have you wanting more. I look forward to reading Josie's story.
Would I recommend this book? Yes!
Would I purchase it for a family member or friend? Yes!
Would I read more books from this author? Absolutely!

I cannot tell you how happy I was when I got a notification that this book was up on NetGalley! I loved the first one and couldn’t wait to delve back into this world but this time focusing on the lives of Mai and Anthony.

This can be read as a standalone but it will spoil Announcing Trouble!

I found myself completely addicted to this story and ended up reading it in one sitting. I could not put this book down and I was so desperate to find out how their story finished. This book made me laugh, it made me smile and it also made me tear up.

I absolutely love these characters and Amy Fellner Dominy has a way of making them feel so realistic and relatable. It’s almost as if these characters, including Josie and Garrett are actually a part in my everyday life. I love the use of dual perspectives as it really helped me understand each characters motives and reactions!

My only qualm with this book is how short it was. I could have easily have read hundreds of pages more of Mai and Anthony’s story. I would have loved to have seen more ‘worst dates’ as I’m a sucker for them!

Overall this was such an enjoyable, light-hearted and cute romance that I recommend reading (but read Announcing Trouble first!) I cannot wait to see what Amy Fellner Dominy comes out with next!

Thank you to NetGalley and Entangled Publishing for providing me with a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.

A cute leaving high school romance between two main characters who had a fling but it really never finished. A girl thinking that he needed to live up to her parents expectations and a boy trying to finish his dad journey for him. I enjoyed the book so much that I read it in a day. Great whitty writing and characters that i thoroughly enjoyed getting to know.
Thank you for me ARC

It was more like How *Not* to Quit Your Crush. Mai and Anthony are two drastically different people. Mai is an extremely driven national merit scholar who is attending an Ivy League college in the Fall with a hardcore double major while Anthony is a star baseball player with average grades and no real plan after graduation besides bumming it around California. Opposites attract though and we saw some of those sparks fly in Announcing Trouble but they’ve apparently burned out, or maybe not. Before Mai leaves to California for the summer the two decide to have a fling and plan awful dates they know the other will hate to try to lose feelings for each other. Only that doesn’t happen and now things are going further than either expected, but Mai is still leaving and Anthony is still unsure of his future.

I loved Anthony and I need and Anthony. I found myself looking forward to his chapters more than Mai but that might be because I related to him better. He was handsome, charming and downright sweet. His life was turned upside down after his dad died though and suddenly he doesn’t know what he wants for his future which was understandable. I mean who had everything planned out that far ahead anyways? I mean besides Mai.

Mai was a lot. At first I didn’t like her. She came across as judgmental and a tad snooty because she was just so dang perfect and had this perfect future planned. Then there is this not so perfect boy who she thought she knew as the slacker baseball player who had no ambition and was all wrong for her. I soon realized I actually liked Mai though and the person she was around Anthony. I saw what he saw in her and realized even she didn’t like who she was some times. It took me a bit to warm up to her but I really enjoyed how passionate she was about her future and the environment along with how willing she was to try new things.

Anthony and Mai were so opposites and I loved these “awful” dates they planned for each other. I mean if you’re trying to lose feelings for someone I would think that would be the way to go. So many bad dates, but them together made them not bad. They we're both just open to new experiences and trying things out. I wanted all of their bad dates for myself. Just goes to show it can never be a truly horrible date if you like who you’re with.

It was also interesting to explore Mai’s relationship with her family. She’s adopted and has a ton of expectations thrust upon her. She also doesn’t want to disappoint her parents or make them wish they hadn’t adopted her; it was a lot to unpack. My only complaint for this book is that we never see how that relationship ends up, there’s no final confrontation after everything. The confrontation we get before the ending though was just wow. It made it really hate her parents and how they had treated Mai after her traumatic trail incident as a kid. I would have like another confrontation and a solid ending where we knew how everything now stood.

How To Quit Your Crush was a fast and fun light summer read and the perfect companion novel to Announcing Trouble. It was nice to see some more of Josie and how her happily ever after was going while also getting to explore her awesome best friend that we’d met during her story. If you’re looking for some summer romance this is definitely one to add to your ever growing TBR!

Before last week, I had never heard about this book, which is weird since this is the type of storyline I truly enjoyed and should have popped up in my recommendations. I finished this book in one-sitting because from the get go, the chemistry between them was so magical, unique and a joy to read.

It was refreshing to read how honest their relationship was, as both of them would speak openly how incompatible they are, and how their relationship would never last the future. As a reader, I didn’t know how the storyline would prolong, as in the first pages, they say their love is doomed but it was perfect to see what “plan” they come up with to kill the romance.

I am excited to see more reviews about this book, and talk to more people about it. Again, all I can say is the chemistry is off the charts. I truly understood the commitment that a relationship should have in order to pass the test of time.

Thank you for allowing me to read this!

How to Quit your Crush by Amy Fellner Dominy a five-star read that will crush you under the chemistry. Mai Senn and Anthony Adams are just the sweetest pair, they are just coming into that age where life seems like it will end in a heartbeat, but on the flip go on for thousands of heartbeats and be never ending. This story is just like that emotion, you will be there with them on the trail, sneaking glances and denying your heart. This is sweet and filled with emotion, I really enjoyed this one, it just had so much heart and soul to the story. If you like your romance sweet and pure then pick this up as it’s a really great example of great writing.

This is a dual POV happily ever after read. I went in thinking it would be more enemies to lovers or fake dating but that definitely is not it. Instead if tells the story of a girl and a boy who found eachother by chance but being opposites crushed their romance. Sadly neither of them seems to get over it and they try to do so in such a cute way that they end up falling harder.
I enjoyed the two main characters but the romance felt a bit forced in the beginning.

So cute! I believe that this book is part of a series, but I came into this one cold and could not get enough! This was a one-sitting, couldn't-put-it-down sweet romance. The chemistry is electric, the banter is so quick, and the romance is swoon-worthy! 5 stars! I can't wait to read more from this author!
