So this is another BookTok read! I heard about it a lot, and when I saw it while picking up some other books I thought "What the heck?" and decided to give it a shot. 

It exceeded all of my expectations. I haven't really stepped my toes into the fake-dating trope, but this is a great example of it done right. As many of you also know, romance usually isn't my thing, especially straight romances. This book is so well written though. It also features a main character who is demi-sexual (although it is never stated by name in the book) which is awesome and great representation. It has a couple of queer side characters as well that don't fall into the gay best friend trope (I think we're all grateful for that).

I really bought the dynamic between Adam and Olive. They seemed like real people (well, the majority of the time). The story was easy to follow, and kind of predictable at some points, but if you are familiar with romance tropes it isn't shocking.

Now, I will comment on THAT scene. A lot of BookTokers show their or their friends reaction when reading that scene, and I understand that. It is a bit of a shock. It does come up in the story naturally, but holy cow. (Those who've read the book know what I'm talking about). 

This book is staying as part of my collection. It's all around a fun time.
