Review by Booklist Review

It's the summer before college, and Jackie Myers is floundering. Everyone around her has found their thing: her best friend is moving across the country, and her older sisters have successful careers. Jackie, on the other hand, is dressing up like a frog at the local pizza arcade, trying to save up for a car. To make things worse, Jackie's new boss is the utterly annoying Wilson, who demoted Jackie to frog in the first place. The only thing Jackie has is her blog, where she doles out breakup advice. When it turns out the blog has caused Wilson's girlfriend to break up with him, Jackie makes a deal to help Wilson win her back in return for her old job. While a great enemies-to-lovers romance ensues, the core of the novel is the bonds of sisterhood between Jackie and her siblings. They have a supportive relationship, and the banter, teasing, and affection are well-developed. Jackie's unsure adult path is also refreshing, offering to readers that you don't necessarily need life after high school sorted. A great romance, but an even better family story.
