Bea and Jamie are great characters with good neurodivergent and mental health representation. The family and found family group is interesting. The depiction of a toxic relationship of a secondary character is handled sensitively but honestly. I loved this book.
TW/CW: emotionally abusive relationships, historical and present, primarily off-page; emotionally abusive parent; one instance of biphobia

βI love how much he loves silence, how thereβs a silence thatβs ours, somehow, simply because we share it.β
βSo what if heβs my wet dream of a jockβs body with silver-screen Gregory Peck glasses and good looks? So what if he takes care of babies and rescues geriatric cats and says adorable shit like Shall we? And If you insist?β

A++ for healthy and mature communication (after initial meet cute disaster bickering) and great care and kindness. Characters inspired by Benedick and Beatrice of sharp-witted, sharp-tongued Shakespeare fame are always a good idea in my book β bring on the banter that develops into a more in-depth understanding! And fake dating to get revenge on meddlesome friends is the BEST reason for fake dating. Especially in a close-knit group of meddlesome, competitive, regular-game-night, Friendsgiving kind of friends.
