Sapphic fake dating perfection.
I had incredibly high expectations for this book and it exceeded all of them.

Iris has been burned badly by relationships and lost faith in anything that's not a one-night stand she can sneak out of. Which makes being a romance author slightly difficult. Stevie, on the other hand, misses being in a relationship and is getting pressure from her friends to get back in the game. Unfortunately, her anxiety makes that very difficult.

After a disastrous attempted hook-up, the fates align for the two to meet again, and a fake relationship is just what Stevie needs to stop her friends nagging her.

Fake dating is a favourite trope of mine, which means I've read so many books with it that I need them to be written well. This was portrayed beautifully. Both women had realistic reasons for the fake relationship, and their different backgrounds showed in the transition from fake to not-so-fake.

Iris and Stevie are such beautiful characters - so raw and real. I loved seeing them develop and become more comfortable in who they were.

I have to mention the steam factor. This book was HOT. The sex scenes were so well written and definitely part of the story - each encounter had meaning as well as high heat, which is rare to see.

And I have to give mention to Iris's amazing friend group. Delilah, Claire and Astrid all have their roles to play in this story, and it was great being back with them. Amazing end to an amazing series.
