I enjoyed the story, an interesting twist on the fake-dating trope. I listened to the audiobook, though, and it loses stars because I didn’t enjoy the narrator. It was a little too “acted” for me - I prefer (unless it’s a full cast) for the book to be just *read* but she got way too breathy in the steamy scenes and too sobby in the sad scenes. Instead of adding to the story it actually pulled me out of it because I found it annoying.
