About this eBook

A joyful summer romance that Jason June, New York Times bestselling author of Out of the Blue, calls "Swoon-worthy!”

This is not how soccer-star Zack Martin thought his summer would go. When the captain's prank means trouble for the whole squad, Zack’s left with no choice but to take one for the team and cover for him.

Now he’s trading parties and beach days for community service at a seaside conservation center—fair enough. But thanks to his new reputation, the cute intern, Chip, won’t even give him a shot. Still, Zack finds himself falling for Chip between dolphin encounters and shark costume disasters, which means he suddenly has way more on the line than he ever expected.

Zack may be good at winning on the field, but can he keep up the lie without losing himself?

Ratings and reviews

I Like Me Better by Robby Weber is a sweet contemporary romance between two high-school boys- Zack, a soccer player and Chip, a seaside conservationist. It has elements of comedy and enemies-to-lovers (one of my favorite tropes of all time) as well as discussions on environmental and sealife conservation. I liked Weber’s writing style, and the characters were well-developed, entertaining, and enjoyable. I particularly liked Zack, I found him to be a great main protagonist. I also liked Zack’s

I am a bit conflicted about this book. Yes, it did keep my interest, but not because of Zach. He was a bit irritating though he did get better by the second half of the book. I kept reading because I was interested in Chip (though Richard was a better name) and because of Zach's friends who helped him so much, even with the stupid mistake of taking the fall for Ryan's prank gone wrong. I wanted to yell at Zach so much for believing Ryan and doing everything he said so that he could be 2.0.
