Rae and Zach were interesting characters who appeared vastly different but were actually pretty similar at their cores. I liked that they were friends first and were generally able to be honest and upfront with each other and have those difficult conversations (apart from when their emotions got complicated and their dynamic changed). 

An interesting read with unique but likeable characters. I enjoyed the small element of fake dating, and how this enabled them to change their relationship form a friendship to more. It moved rather quickly, especially with most of the events happening in a weekend. The demisexual representation was nice, as well as the exploration around why Zach had the reputation he did and why he did it.
