Book Overview
**A New York Times Best Romance Book of the Year** A swoony, heart-melting YA romance from beloved author Rebekah Weatherspoon about two awkward teens who decide to practice dating in order to be good at the real thing. Perfect for fans of Nicola Yoon and Jenny Han. Sixteen-year-old Bethany Greene, though confident and self-assured, is what they call a late-bloomer. She's never had a boyfriend, date, or first kiss. She's determined to change that but after her crush turns her down cold for Homecoming--declaring her too inexperienced--and all her back-up ideas fall through, she cautiously agrees to go with her best friend's boyfriend Jacob. A platonic date is better than no date, right? Until her friend breaks up with said boyfriend. Dumped twice in just two months, Jacob Yeun wonders if he's the problem. After years hiding behind his camera and a shocking summer glow up, he wasn't quite ready for all the attention or to be someone's boyfriend. There are no guides for his particular circumstances, or for taking your ex's best friend to the dance. Why not make the best of an awkward situation? Bethany and Jacob decide to fake date for practice, building their confidence in matters of the heart. And it works--guys are finally noticing Bethany. But things get complicated as their kissing sessions--for research of course --start to feel real. This arrangement was supposed to help them in dating other people, but what if their perfect match is right in front of them?

Fun Read

Her Good Side follows Bethany and Jacob throughout their journey in exploring themselves. Bethany is a basketball player, and a good one too, while Jacob enjoys more of filming and skating. Though they may be an unlikely match, they share one thing in common, their experience, or lack of, in the dating scene. What begins as a simple homecoming date turns into a deal to practice dating to gain said experience.
I liked the book as whole. Bethany and Jacob were fun characters to read about. The book being dual point of view allowed to me see both of the characters' thoughts, which made the reading experience all the more enjoyable. Seeing the character's develop and discover themselves helped solidify the book for me and give it more depth. I was really starting to enjoy it towards the end, where most of the action occurs in their relationship. From the beginning to the middle, their character and relationship is being developed, whereas at the end, the action starts to pick up and the book became more engaging to me.
