I love this book so god damn much, it's my second favourite book that's ever been written, when I first read it, I gave it 4* and then since November last year, I've read it about 20 times and oh my god I love this book with every single part of my heart, body and soul. 

Oliver is by far and away my favourite character. I relate to him in so many ways from his eating disorder to his difficult relationship with his parents even to the way he thinks they can do no wrong and then Luc opens his eyes bc that was me and Jess. I just love him so god damn much, he deserves the absolute world. Hes so pushed aside even though hes struggling so much and god it breaks my heart!!! Hes so sweet and caring and just bless him. 

Of course, I also absolutely adore Luc!! Again, Luc deserves the absolute world and hes been delt so much shit up until this point that he doesnt deserve. He loves and cares about his friends sm even though he struggles to say it and the way he grows and develops in the book is incredible I just also love him sm. 

As well as Luc and Oliver I adore the side characters, Luc's work friends and his friendship group in general and Oliver's friend group just makes me laugh so god damn much my favourite chapters are when they're at the dinner party. 

Also fake dating along with enemies to lovers is the best trope ever invented and god it gives me all of the feels. 

I love this book so much and I cant wait to read it another 20 times.
