I have reread this book possibly two-three times within the past 5 years. It feels that I never understood this book as deeply as I did this time around.
At first, I thought it was a bit too unrealistic for me with the stranger to lovers/fake dating trope and the two characters Fallon and Ben falling in love with each other with only three or so days within three years. But, that bothersome dissolved a bit and I just enjoyed the influx’s of emotions felt.
I liked seeing the true and real feelings both characters had not only towards each other on their rocky hill of experiences but, I also enjoyed their feelings and thoughts of themselves. We just see the changes and character development and I enjoyed that. I definitely annotated with many impacting statements, funny lines, and loving statements said.
