Yay for neurodivergent main characters!

This book was fine, but I was never excited to pick it back up and that's why it took me so long to finish it. I also wasn't the biggest fan of the audiobook--the male narrator was okay but the female narrator had a tone of voice I wasn't the biggest fan of. I've listened to the female narrator before in other romance audiobooks and usually I enjoyed their performances but for this particular story I wish we had a different narrator for the female MC.

The third act break-up was so unnecessary and trite, and I thought it was out of character for the heroine to do. The third act break-up just dragged the book and added some predictable drama.

Here it is, finally my review of this book. I was in a bit of a slump before I picked this book up and I could not put it down.

I don't know what it is about Chloe Liese but her writing just makes me and addict to the story and I want to devore it but at the same time stay in this story forever and never finish it.

The way these two communicate and their chemistry is writing in every page. I loved this book since page fucking 1. I am a sucker for the fake dating trope especially when it's done like this. It such a slow burn for me. I wanted them to get naked since the moment they met.

Chloe has slowly become an auto-buy author for me. Can't wait to read the rest of her books.

Bea Wilmot's twin sister Jules is dating Jamie's friend and roommate, Jean-Claude. Jamie Westenberg and Bea meet at a party and instantly don't get along. Although they have a terrible first meeting, Jules thinks that Jamie would be perfect for her sister. Jules and Jean-Claude set them up on a blind date. After Jamie and Bea text for a week (they both are using their middle names to hide their identity), they realize that they have similar interests. Bea and Jamie agree to fake date as a way to get revenge on Jules and Jean-Claude for going behind their backs to set up the blind date. I liked the chemistry between Jamie and Bea, and it was nice to see them learn how to communicate. I enjoyed seeing perspective of character with anxiety (Jamie) and autism (Bea). This book was a lot spicier than I expected. Fans of [a:Talia Hibbert|17088554|Talia Hibbert|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1544037896p2/17088554.jpg]'s the Brown Sisters series and [a:Helen Hoang|17147855|Helen Hoang|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1505925131p2/17147855.jpg] will enjoy this book. My only criticism of this book is that the plot was very predictable. I was surprised that I liked this book because I was not a fan of Chloe Liese's other book, [b:Always Only You|54125750|Always Only You (Bergman Brothers, #2)|Chloe Liese|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1593579246l/54125750._SY75_.jpg|84475787]. I'll probably give the sequel, [b:Better Hate than Never|64821637|Better Hate than Never (The Wilmot Sisters, #2)|Chloe Liese|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1677540032l/64821637._SX50_.jpg|100042595] a chance because I want to read more about Christopher.
