Let me start off by saying that while this while this idea has already been done before, I haven't read other books like this, but I can say that this book was awesome and I loved it. 
 The characters and basically the whole plot of the story was well written and well orchestrated. I felt like nothing was out of place in the story, everything had a purpose- sort of like cause and effect. The whole thing about the beauty pageants seemed irrelevant to me, but then I realized that it was actually important, and it gave Lex more opportunities to get close to Noah. 
 And yeah, I know that this novel was romance driven but I was okay with it, more than okay, and I was glad that she had a romance with Noah because not only did it help Lex view things differently, especially people, she also changed for the better. Not to mention her family too, they all got closer and Lex had to deal with her grandma having Alzheimer's and so she was sad about it but Noah helped her and she did the same for him with his abusive dad. 
 WIthout going into too much detail, because that would basically spoil a lot of the story, it was nice seeing all the different sides of Lex and Noah. They were just so cute together, and I liked how honest and funny they were with each other. They flirted and really cared for each other. I can just tell they are going to have their HEA. Hopefully the author writes a small novella or gives us an update about what in the future with them.
