Review in Italian: https://lalibreriadij.wordpress.com/2016/04/13/not-oka-cupid/
Not bad! I loved the main male character and the general plot, but the protagonist wasn't really appealing to me.
If you want something light to read this is definitely it.

Cute.
This book was really adorable. I love how both characters' POVs showed changes in the end. The writing was also a breath of fresh air to me. It's quirky, fun and really cute. Their exchanges are also something you should look forward to. They can really banter. ;)
I love how the conflict evolved into something that is much smaller than the lesson that the characters should learn in their life. I like how it seems like everything they do here lead to some understanding of their own feelings.
Even though I already know where the story was going, it still felt like a nice movie unfolding.
If you like light romances coupled with adorable encounters and a good deal of life lessons, then this one is definitely for you. :)

OMG- did I ever love this novel. NOT OKAY CUPID is pure YA gold, with a cast of endearing characters who will work their way into your heart and not let go. I loved Hazel with a thousand loves. She's eager to please and scorned by her best friend and cheating boyfriend, sending her right into the arms of Felix, who is equally adorable. The banter between Felix and Hazel alone is worth the price of this book. Seriously, the dialogue is quick and witty, and absolutely the most fun I've read in a long time. I wanted more scenes with just the two of them sitting around talking, just os that I could find out what funny jabs they'd throw! Their flirting is seriously off-the-charts cute.
This book is lighthearted and fun from start to finish, and it is the perfect pick-me-up. If you're looking for fun, look no further. This book left me with a huge smile on my fave long after I turned the last page.

This book was pathetic.
The plot was easy to spot from the beginning and the characters were unrealistic, unconvincing, and boring.
I had higher expectations for this book. Boo.
And don't get me started on the typos!

I received a review copy from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I think that this is a cute cover although a bit cheesy but I don't mind that for this particular cover as it's in keeping with the story. I wouldn't say that the models are a perfect match for the main characters although the guy reminds me a little bit of Felix.
Not Okay, Cupid was an okay book but some of the things that happened just didn't sit right with me. I felt like the book never really took off, I think it needed to be a bit longer so parts of the story wasn't rushed. The romance side of the story wasn't completely believable as I didn't see them as a couple as well as it coming out of the blue. There was some moments that I felt there was some spark but in the end there just wasn't enough chemistry. The whole reason for the revenge was awful I can't believe someone who love and trust would do something like that and then not to take responsibility for what she had done was even worse. I didn't get that people was still unaware of what took place especially when it was in front of a full canteen. I thought the ending was really cute but I do wish it went into the future to see how things are going.
The two main characters where the most likeable characters in this book with the rest annoying the hell out of me well apart from Hazel's mum she came across well. Hazel I really felt for with everything that had happened to her and then for her still show strength was amazing. There was moments that Hazel did annoy me though. Felix I liked and even though he was portrayed as a 'bad boy' I felt like he was more of the good guy. As for Hazel's best friend she just didn't come across well at all and I don't understand why they where friends in the first place. Then Hazel's ex-boyfriend came across just as bad as the best friend.
Overall, there was some really cute moments but for the most part I felt that it just didn't go anywhere for me to really get into it.

None of the characters spoke or acted like teenagers in any way whatsoever. Felix was completely ridiculous and did not seem like a teenage guy. Hazel wasn’t interesting or fun to read about. Ugh and the typos really turned me off.
I liked the concept a lot more than the execution.

Not Okay Cupid!!! First things first: I received an ARC through NetGalley.
The book comes out january 11th and you should totally check it out.
For me this book is a total 5 star book, cause at least the book has everything that I need in a good story.
The writing is really good, there is just a wonderful sense of humor and the characters are written so well. I very much enjoyed that.
Then we have the story. Hazel finds her boyfriend and her best friend being all over each other at school. Her bestfriends brother, Felix, comes up with a revenge plan. And so the fake relationship between these two starts. AND I LOVE IT!!!! (Seriously. Fake relationships? Yes, please, count me in!!!) I loved that it wasn't a fake relationship between Hazel and some random guy but the fact that Felix and Hazel go way back. That for her, he was always that annoying brother of her best friend but through them faking their relationship, she actually saw another side of him. (Yes, I'm totally swooning over this story.)
I loved the characters. Hazel. Felix. I loved the relationship that both these characters had with their mothers. Kimmy and Jay. Oh well. A story just has to have these characters that you constantly want to punch in the face as soon as they show up.
Overall this was just such a wonderful story, the love was build up really nice and sweet. It wasn't rushed. It was great. Also a super fast read, if it weren't for my need to watch christmas movies all day long or me lying on the floor thinking about the Haven series finale, I would have finished the book a lot earlier.)

It's around 2.5 Stars but I will round of up- because I did like the second half
This kinda reminded me of She's All That with a dash of Ten Things I Hate About you, thrown the bad boy turned lover boy....
So your classic highschool cute & fluffy.
But I was not a fan of the first half. It was too melodramatic for me. And my biggest issue with the book: I really didn't like Felix's POV.
BUT saying this... It gets better, way better. The second half of the book, was the classic sigh-worthy cute & fluffy and I ended up adoring both Felix and Hazel.
This is not so much plot driven. Well, it doesn't have any surprising twists and turns- nope it's your classic sweet high school romp and I enjoyed it.
The writing style left me a bit ambiguous, I am not sure exactly if it was only the POV of Felix- it felt rather a bit fake. I know that sounds odd, but I kept thinking this isn't how a teenage boy thinks... or speaks... I didn't feel the same about Hazels however. I like her voice. Though I wouldn't say that I was wowed by Kling's prose, I also didn't dislike it- well except for the previously mentioned issue.
Thankfully this is mostly character driven. And you know I love character driven stories! The two MCs got more interesting as we get to know them. From what looked at the beginning two uber-stereotypical characters, we got two interesting and realistic feeling teens. I loved their boarding scenes. The villains in this, however never change. They the same totally over the top, selfish cliches- we never get to see another side of them. I kept wondering how Hazel ever was friends with them.
Still sweet, fun and cute, if you don't mind Felix' POV or the stereotyping. I also did like the little cupid bits!
If you a lover of Entangled Crush or the genre it's worth a try.

Today is the day that Not Okay, Cupid comes out, so it was the perfect day to dig into to this book and write this review. I have to be honest, after reading The Girlfriend Request (also out today), my hopes weren’t that high for this book… BUT, I was wrong! Not Okay, Cupid totally surpassed my expectations, and that’s part of why I gave it 4 stars, besides some problems that it did have.
I absolutely loved the writing. It was fun, witty and easy to read I’ll tell you guys this, whatever else this lady writes, I want to read as well.
But the winning element in this book is definitely the two main characters. I was a bit worried, because the the whole revenge plot can either be a hit or a miss, and I honestly thought it was a hit, because the characters were great individually, but were even more awesome together, since the first scene they share. And Felix was such a funny narrator! They both were funny, but Felix just blew it out of the park. This book made me laugh… out loud… in very public places!
I loved that both main characters were not exactly what they seemed to be in the beginning. And the romance is beyond cute, it’s great to read how much they meant to each other since forever, especially how Felix secretly always held Hazel on a pedestal.
I also liked that even though the plot depends on some heavy teen drama, the characters themselves are not over dramatic. That’s good and kind of refreshing.
Now, I found two very distracting problems with this ARC – and maybe it was only because I was reading the ARC version – but there were a lot of inconsistencies and continuation problems. Felix eyes change colours 3 times, for instance, and I probably wouldn’t have noticed it if I hadn’t read it all in the same day. I do hope these inconsistencies were corrected prior to the book being released.
Still, I had an AMAZING time reading this book! Keep it coming Entangled Crush!!!
