this was such a good read and such a good take on the fake dating trope. often times, the main character gets over their previous relationship after they fall for their fake partner, and while scottie did start to, i love how the author wrote how much scottie struggled to reconcile with her relationship with tally. it was so raw and real and i really fucking felt for her as she grappled with everything that came after tally. i also really fucking loved irene. she was so sweet and understanding without being a pushover and held her ground. she felt so well rounded despite not being in her pov, which can be tough to do. the grin on my face during
the scene where scottie does the cheer routine as a big gesture was huge
and honestly i teared up a little. i also loved how they did that, where they made sure to have them talk beforehand. i really really love this book, highly recommend!!
