it hurts me to say it, but super cringy writing. i usually die by “i am cringe but i am free” but it was so much it made it so i didn’t even want to finish it. and the writing is just not good 😭 “he smiled,” “e raised an eyebrow,” “she rolled her eyes.” so much telling and so little showing. and it was a unique premise with what could have been an amazing plot twist if the writing didn’t make everything so damn predictable.
main character is INSUFFERABLE and he *technically* has character development but it’s not well done and doesn’t seem genuine. dude can’t make a responsible, thoughtful, or good-in-any-way decision to save his LIFE. i LOVE characters with flaws but it’s just as important to give your character some real good traits, at least by the end, as it is to give them some bad, unless the character’s incurable insufferability is whole point of the story (think: we need to talk about kevin), and this is just not one of those stories.

I would NOT recommend this book. I would never guess in a million years that this is the same author who wrote Cafe Con Lychee, a book I loved.

The whole fake-dating scenario was cringe at best. They had no chemistry and honestly, I've seen this trope of 'I used you for clout' so many times before and it's never good. What more can I say? Noah was a terrible person who only cared about himself. Sorry pal, you're not the center of the universe. Why did he hate his brother's girlfriend again? Why was he such a dick to Becca? I thought he'd at least atone at the end of the book but nah.
A wasted seven hours. I don't think I'll pick up another book from the same author again.
