Wanted to like this more than I did. It had perfect tropes: hate to love and fake dating?! Yes, please! But something about the pacing just felt off to me. Also, it was clear they liked each other, but I wanted to see more of the little moments of emotional bonding during fake dating that led to real dating. The moments we did see, like those with family, were cute, but I guess I wanted more of them talking and discovering things about each other. Still a few sweet moments though!

This might be one of my favorite books I’ve read this year. I didn’t like either of the MCs right away, but I liked the way it was a slow build for them and me lol. I ended up really enjoying the characters, and fake dating is one of my favorite tropes ever, so the plot was like heaven for me, too!
