“‘Wow,’ Kat said. ‘One week at this place is better than a year of therapy. Who knew pretending to be in a rom-com would lead to all these breakthroughs about our relationship issues?’”

The premise got odd for me when they started to be fake to each other within the rom-com game...

I didn't love this as much as I hoped. It was good, and the storyline was really interesting, but I ended up skimming though the last few chapters because I wanted to get through it.

Started on vacation, and it just wasn’t hitting. I thought the premise was fun but it was one of those “she doesn’t really know who I am” books and I just don’t vibe with that

If you could go to a resort that offered a rom-com experience, would you be interested? Julia goes to write about it in an attempt to keep her job and brings along a couple friends.
Luke is one of the designers of the experience and they are finally ready to open to the public - and then learn the added pressure of a reporter attending their first week. Luke decides he needs to pretend to be a guest to keep an eye on things.
Things proceed exactly as you’d expect and that doesn’t bother me. I was along for the ride. But I never really felt chemistry between them and found it hard to believe their declarations of love after just a few days. I loved the references to movies but think I will quickly forget this one.
Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the advance reading copy.

This was....fine. Cute premise. I wanted to like it more than I actually did. I liked finding all the romcom references (there were so many!), but it didn't match up with my expectations of a LARPing vacation or how I expected them to be written in. And I don't think I liked any of the main characters....unsure?
