Review (spoilers)
☆☆☆☆
I am not big on romance books but this was very well done. The trop of fake dating to lovers is all over the place but this felt unique! Part of it had to do with the very realistic characters and himan life problems! (Marriage issues, mistrust, trauma, mental health etc).
While this book had a small aspect of "miscommunication", as in 'you could have just talked about it', and then problem is solved, this seemed more legit. They both had a reason for now wanting to communicate how they feel excalty and this was very well done.
Jacob is a great characater. Like other reviewers, his social anxiety was very detailed and added a lot to the story in a good way! It gives you a character some of us can really relate to. His anxiety was well developed and explained.
The family dynamics, the kidney trnasplant process, all tears worth, it shows the harsh realities of people going through hard procedures and family members having to deal with this too. It was great romance story with a great message too!
