“I'm starting to wonder if this is what being in love is. Being okay with ripping yourself to shreds, so the other person can stay whole.”

I must confess that I was reticent about this book. Not because it used to be star wars fanfiction (I only discover that after buying the book) but because it is a popular book. Popular books are 50/50 to me, and I'm always reticent about starting one. But I really liked it.

As far as romances go, this isn't the best romance that I ever read. But it's damn entertaining and I was engaged all the time. And that makes all the difference to me. It's a little cliché at some points but there are some plot points that caught me by surprise. The characters are interesting and funny, which was also a good point for me!

So, I really liked this book, and I do recommend it if you want something light and entertaining. Its a really good beach read.

The book is cheesy, but in a fun, self-indulgent way. A fake dating book that likes to poke fun at the whole fake dating trope. Most of the book seemed pretty cliche YA, but it got a little spicy towards the end. I'd say this is a fun, light-hearted beach read.

I think the problem with this book is that it's not all its chalked up to be . Mentioning stem and the issues women face in stem once does not make it a feminist book. And i am not even gonna mention the boob thing . I think the story is compelling and okay but there's better gay fanfiction out there .
