All of them. Well most of them. You have your friends-to-lovers, your childhood-sweet-hearts, your high-school-sweet-hearts, your fake-dating. All of it.
The adorable in Adorkable was definitely there. in very high levels. Very. See: list of tropes above.
However, the dorky was...a little lacking. I get why, as a writer. O'Gorman had to stick to vague references as to not alienate readers. But I was left wanting more.
See the full back-of-the-book-description below:
["Seventeen-year-old Sally Spitz is done with dating. Or at least, she's done with the horrible blind dates/hookups/sneak attacks her matchmaking bestie, Hooker, sets her up on. There's only so much one geek girl and Gryffindor supporter can take.
Her solution: she needs a fake boyfriend. And fast.
Enter Becks, soccer phenom, all-around-hottie, and Sally's best friend practically since birth. When Sally asks Becks to be her F.B.F. (fake boyfriend), Becks is only too happy to be used. He'd do anything for Sal--even if that means giving her PDA lessons in his bedroom, saying she's "more than pretty," and expertly kissing her at parties.
The problem: Sally's been in love with Becks all her life--and he's completely clueless."]
