3. Vicky 🤣
"Rock Bottom Girl" is the perfect small-town romcom packed with humor, second chances, and a fake-dating trope that delivers. Marley is at rock bottom—jobless, aimless, and reluctantly moving back to her hometown. But when she takes on the role of a high school soccer coach (despite knowing nothing about coaching), her past crush and new fake-boyfriend, Jake, steps in to help.
This book gave me serious high school nostalgia in the best way. Marley’s self-pity moments were frustrating at times, but her journey of self-discovery, friendships, and rekindled romance made it all worthwhile. And let’s talk about Vicky—she was absolutely hilarious! We need a whole book about her because she was one of the best side characters I’ve read in a while.
The humor kept me hooked, and while there was a moment near the end where Marley frustrated me (no spoilers, but girl), it didn’t last long. If you’re looking for a fun, laugh-out-loud, heartwarming read, this one’s for you. And yes, I’ll definitely be reading more from Lucy Score!
