How To Fall In Love, Ruin Everything and Still End Up With Potatoes
How To Fall In Love, Ruin Everything and Still End Up With Potatoes: Three hearts. One sarcastic Girl. Zero chill. Love was never supposed to be this complicated -or this hilarious. __________ Riana didn't ask to be the star of a love triangle. She just wanted to survive high school with decent grades, her hoodie collection intact, and maybe only mild emotional damage. But fate (and her absurdly sarcastic personality) had other plans. Enter Skylar: hoodie-wearing, hair-flipping, secret-softie with a jealousy problem and a tragic habit of confessing his feelings on an impulse. And then there's Kaizen: her charming, childhood best friend with a smirk that could start a fire (literally-he once brought a flaming rose), who shows up out of nowhere and remembers everything she's forgotten. What follows is a whirlwind of accidental almost-kisses, sabotage-by-potato, dramatic slow-mo hallway showdowns, emotional mangoes, and a squirrel who might be more emotionally stable than everyone involved. Riana? She's just trying to survive Spirit Week, avoid being the human center of gravity in a rom-com plot, and maybe figure out which boy she's actually in love with before someone skydives off the gym roof with a banner. It's hilarious. It's chaotic. It's very low in chill. Because love? Yeah. Love is war. With snacks. ____________Complete
