The Place Between was a charming and witty read. It took me a bit to push through the beginning, but once I did I fell in love with the story and characters (seriously, I absolutely loved all of these characters with the exception of some certain hurtful jerks). The fake dating aspect had such a funny reasoning behind it, simply needing to get work done in order to present and graduate. The slow burn was excellent, and also lent to believability of the romance between Ned and Abbot. I am excited to read more from Kit Oliver, and hopefully the Christmas story about these two in the near future.
