This book did excellent with the "enemies/rivals to lovers" and "fake dating." The MC and LI had legitimate reasons not to like each other and even to hate each other and the justification for their fake dating was realistic. It worked. Things progressed between them at a good pace and the slip into liking each other felt believable.
The plot was fairly predictable, but some things did take me a little by surprise. I did feel that the ending with everything between their dads happened a little too easily a bit out of the blue. The solution to the whole Suck-O incident seemed out of character for Mr. Cooke given the years of rivalry and denial that he did anything wrong.
Overall I really enjoyed this book. It flowed well and I basically read it in one sitting. If you're looking for a fairly light YA read with fun tropes and sentimental moments, this may be the book for you.
