Mai Senn knows Anthony Adams is no good for her - no matter how hard she might crush on him. She’s valedictorian; he’s a surf bum. She’s got plans, he’s got his art. Complete opposites in every way. Vinegar and baking soda, they once joked. A chemical reaction that bubbled.
Yeah, they bubbled. Maybe still do.
Good thing Anthony’s got the perfect plan: two weeks to prove just how not good they are together. Whoever can come up with the worst date—something the other will seriously hate, proving how incompatible they truly are—wins.
Like taking a snake-phobe to the Reptile House at the zoo (his idea).
Or a cooking class where they don’t even get to eat the food (her idea).
It’s all about the competition, and it’s meant to help them finally crush their crushes. But it wasn’t supposed to be so hot. Or so fun. And when Mai’s future becomes at stake, will she be able to do the right thing and quit Anthony forever?

Mai is focused and driven. Antony isn’t aiming for academic excellence. The pair seem impossible, even after sharing a sweet memory. They b ...more
My thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for a free ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
My apologies, but I'm going to have to gush a bit here: what a great, often hilarious, emotionally intelligent (and just plain intelligent) read this was! I love Amy Fellner Dominy's writing ...more
Announcing Trouble was hands-down the best YA book I read last year. So you can imagine how stoked I was to get my hands on How to Quit Your Crush. I was pumped to get some more time in this world, with these characters, and this completely delicious storytelling.
Amy Fellner Dominy did not disappoin ...more

How to Quit Your Crush is a standalone young adult contemporary romance by Amy Fellner Dominy. It is set in the same world as her YA contemporary romance, Announcing Trouble.

TAKE THAT LOCKDOWN ANXIETY. I finally finished a book. And I should have finished this ages ago because it was actually very good.
Edit 7 June 2020
Note: I was supposed to post this a month ago (May 5th to be exact). And I am so sorry I didn't. But I'm posting it now because I've really enj ...more
How to Quit Your Crush is a good read for me. I loved the fast pacing and the storyline the most. I have yet read Announcing Trouble where it all started with Josie and Garrett. But it’s okay if you didn’t read it because it really is a different story but the characters are from the same school.

Mai wanted the "bubbles" to stop. Anthony wanted to extinguish the flame. They embarked on a two week "fling" in order to crush their crush, but their plan may very well have backfired on them.
Announcing Trouble was such a hit for me, and I jumped at the chance to get back into this world. I was alw ...more

I cannot tell you how happy I was when I got a notification that this book was up on NetGalley! I loved the first one and couldn’t wait to delve back into this world but this time focusing on the lives of Mai and Anthony.
This can be read as a standalone but it will spoil Announcing Trouble!

I love this book so much. I love the characters, the flirty banter, and just the whole story. It’s an enemies to “lovers” story with a little something extra. Mai is driven. And that’s an understatement. She has a plan for everything, knows what she will do with her life down to the most minute deta ...more

**Cassie's Review
As soon as I saw Fellner-Dominy was releasing another YA novel, I knew I needed to read it. I didn’t even read the blurb. So it was a pleasant surprise to be put in the same world as Announcing Trouble, and my excitement somehow grew even more. The author nails the fragile but excit ...more
This book blew me away. I wasn’t expecting to love it so much!
This was a little tale of opposites attracting in the cutest way. Maya, aka, Mai, is a type a personality. She has a plan for her future. A future that doesn’t have room for high school baseball star, Anthony. But for some reason, the two ...more
Every decision that Mai makes in her life is based on what those she cares about would think. Whether it comes to her studying, her plans for the future and the boy she likes. Anthony couldn’t be more different as he takes every day as it comes, his plans for the future include travelling and not sc ...more
This was a super cute read.
Mai is smart and has a plan for her future that does not include rekindling her romance with Anthony, the cute baseball player who lives in the moment. They decide on one last fling to get their feelings out before moving on with separate lives.
Mai and Anthony are so opp ...more
How to Quit Your Crush is a good sweet read. This is Mai and Anthony's story and we get both their POVs. I love that we could get in both their heads. Mai is goal focused and a hard worker. Anthony is kind of a free spirit. He doesn't really have after school plans. Mai has a crush on him but he doe ...more
Absolutely loved this story.
Anthony and Mai are complete opposites and they don't make sense on paper. Now, if they could only convince themselves of that and so they decide to have a 2 week fling to make each other hate the idea of being together. I LOVED this premise!
Anthony. I swooned so hard ov ...more
