I enjoyed reading this a lot. Only nitpick: I wanted a bit more development with Ben. I had a hunch he already liked her, so he didn't mind helping out. Also, I loved that Gavin didn't turn out to be a jerk. YA is getting better male leads, y'all.

DNF
Felt like the author was trying too hard to sound like a teen

1 Driven Volleyball Star
1 Handsome Photographer
1 Fashionista Best Friend
1 Player Ex-Boyfriend

1 Modelling Competition
1 Arch Frenemy
3 Judges (of Varying Levels of Disapproval)
3 Eliminations by Internet
1 After-Game Smoothie

The Short Version:
A fun romcom featuring POC leads - the pop culture references are dated/foreign enough to be pretty well incomprehensible to me, but the underlying story was cute. Volleyball star London Abrams has to raise money if she wants to attend a prestigious volleyball skills camp, but she gets side-tracked from her weekend job when a cute photographer comes in to buy supplies. When she happens to run into him again with her fashionista best friend and he happens to be helping manage the line of hopefuls for a modeling competition run by a local celebrity for her boutique...well...the form includes contact information, right?

So London signs up for the competition hoping to spend more time with a cute boy, but finds herself chosen - along with her frenemy from her time on the child modeling circuit, Kelly. And while her mom is psyched that London is trying out modeling again, she herself has to sort out some feelings she has over her mom's lack of support for her volleyball games. Not to mention her jerk of an ex-boyfriend keeps trying to sabotage any time she spends with Brent (the cute photography intern).

This was a fun one-and-done for me. London is very relatable and I really liked her driven best friend with the local fashion blog. Plus I enjoyed the ANTM nods, but there wasn't enough of that (or of the volleyball games) for me to want to keep this around long-term.
