Not Okay Cupid by Heidi R. Kling
3.0
The synopsis is pretty simple with this one, our perfect MC Hazel leads the seemly perfect life in and outside of school but when she finds her supposedly perfect boyfriend hooking up with her best friend, her world comes crashing down. However all is not lost as Felix, her best friend’s brother decides to help Hazel get her much-needed revenger; fake a relationship and ultimately break her douche-bag ex’s heart.
As Hazel and Felix slowly get to know each other it becomes harder to keep up this relationship ruse as each slowly realizes their feelings for the other. This is pretty much your typical YA contemporary but no matter how many times I come across this type of romance, I always enjoy them. Hazel was a lovely character to follow and you can’t help but feel sorry for her in the beginning but worry not, Felix soon swoops in to save the day. Felix is the school’s bad boy; he dates anything with a pulse and is a firm believer in keeping his so-called relationships label-less fun, easy and commitment free.
I took a lot of pleasure in Hazel and Felix getting their revenge and even more so actually seeing their plan work. However I only wish there was a little something more to the storyline or the characters to peek my interest and to make Not Okay Cupid stand out among thousands of YA Contemporaries. With that being said I really did enjoy this book and if your looking for a fun and cute filled read then this is definitely for you.
