I loved this book, I loved the two main characters. The banter, the chemistry and the build-up were brilliant. Warning this is an extremely slow build. Fake dating and miscommunication tropes. But the strength was in the characters and the plot. A lot of other readers criticism I found were plot strengths, I think the two main characters are juvenile and whiny, to begin with, but fully developed into strong interesting characters. I love the authors delve into serious issues to add depth and realism. Just read the trigger warnings beforehand.
