If We Were A Movie by Zakiya N. Jamal

I got a copy of this book from Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.

Rochelle is desperate to get a job for the summer so that her application to college will look good. She is offered a job at a movie theater. When she gets there, she realizes her nemesis works there. Amira and Rochelle’s moms are best friends. The two girls played together when they were younger but grew apart after Amira’s family moved and they went to different schools. When they were back together in high school, Rochelle pushed Amira away and the animosity between them grew.

At her mother’s insistence, Rochelle tries to clear the air and make nice with Amira. Their friendship slowly recovers. But then, with the help of her two best friends, Rochelle realizes that she has a crush on Amira.

While all this is going on, the theater they work at is struggling. Also, there is someone trying to sabotage them. Now Amira and Rochelle, along with their coworkers, have to figure out how to save the theater and find out who is causing things to go haywire.

This was a cute YA sapphic romance. It made my heart warm reading it. There was a non-binary character and an aro/ace character.

I enjoyed this book a lot. Really glad I read it.

5 star read. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
