This was a fun YA! It's been a while since I read a YA romance and I'm so glad it was this one!
Things I liked:
-gossip girl vibes but much less toxic
-a boy who plays hockey AND bakes!
-a FMC who embraces her nerdiness
-really appreciated how quickly the initial "lie" was cleared up
-the friend group and the ways they communicated with each other
-every character at the shelter
-didn't see the twist about Daniel's family
Things I didn't love:
-not much honestly..wanted more time with them as a couple at the end
-in the audiobook the narrator read "IRL" as all the letters and every time it (at least 4x) it took me out of the story because I don't think people actually say that, they type it
-wanted more from the reveals about the gossip sight and the mystery video game friend
Overall, would recommend this if you're looking for a pretty cute fake dating YA romance!
