I enjoyed this book, while Emma and Caleb make a bet on who gets the new girl..they also try to navigate between their own personal problems, while trying to survive high school. There are subjects pertaining to emotional abuse and neglect from a parent, and bullying so keep that in mind.

Thank you to penguin teen!

Whenever I read a book with a love triangle now, I always want it to end with them all just happily together and get frustrated every time when that doesn't happen. This was the first book that gave a perfect alternate solution at the end. If you like ex-best friends to lovers, queer rep(there's a character on the ace spectrum), and YA coming of age romance I highly recommend this one. At times there are also hard themes, but it is shown and discussed. I've really liked this author's books so far and can't wait to see what they write next

RATING: 4/5 STARS

EXES & FOES is another great mature YA novel from Amanda Woody! The premise of two former best friends fighting over a love interest was really captivating and well-executed here. The whole novel was dynamic and fun. Amanda Woody writes relationships so beautifully - I just adored how Emma and Caleb's friendship and bond developed. Highly recommend for fans of Becky Albertalli and Alice Oseman.
