This book was like a warm hug. I LOVE a fake dating scenario, I feel like its so unrealistic and since I read to escape it’s perfect for me. This was a fake dating, friends to lovers romance with a found family element and it was divine. I adored the mental health representation, it was refreshing to have main characters being open with each other about their struggles and talking about how important therapy is. I also loved the inclusion of a Deaf character and how this was weaved into the story, it formed a core part of the plot and thus didn’t feel tokenistic (at least to me - though I’m not a member of the Deaf community so I’m obviously not the authority on this).

I recommend this book to anyone looking for a sweet (but still spicy) romance and I will probably reread it in the future when I need a pick-me-up.
