What I Like About You by Marisa Kanter

 


“There are a million things that Halle Levitt likes about her online best friend, Nash.


He’s an incredibly talented graphic novelist. He loves books almost as much as she does. And she never has to deal with the awkwardness of seeing him in real life. They can talk about anything…


Except who she really is.


Because online, Halle isn’t Halle—she’s Kels, the enigmatically cool creator of One True Pastry, a YA book blog that pairs epic custom cupcakes with covers and reviews. Kels has everything Halle doesn’t: friends, a growing platform, tons of confidence, and Nash.


That is, until Halle arrives to spend senior year in Gramps’s small town and finds herself face-to-face with real, human, not-behind-a-screen Nash. Nash, who is somehow everywhere she goes—in her classes, at the bakery, even at synagogue.


Nash who has no idea she’s actually Kels.


If Halle tells him who she is, it will ruin the non-awkward magic of their digital friendship. Not telling him though, means it can never be anything more. Because while she starts to fall for Nash as Halle…he’s in love with Kels.” - taken from Goodreads.


This was a quirky love triangle between Nash, Halle, and Halle's online Persona, Kels. Having only meant and interacted with the internet, Halle, who keeps her real identity a secret online, is shocked to meet Nash in real life when she moves to her grandfather's hometown. Halle immediately knows who Nash is but she doesn't divulge her true identity. Soon Nash is everywhere Halle goes but she never tells him who she really is. Drawn to each other, Nash still feels a pull towards Kels, even though they've never met in real life. Will Halle come clean before it's too late?


This was a meet-cute romance that involves books and blogs.
