"Without Elle's fingers twined with hers, Darcy didn't know what to do with her hands as she was suddenly absurdly aware of them"

I love an Austen retelling. I liked both of the main characters, but their families were pretty terrible which kind of brought the mood down. The third-act breakup was kind of contrived (but when isn't it?).

The way that Darcy's brother pressured her into dating again and outs the (fake) relationship to Elle's family (without knowing whether or not she was out to them or even if it was safe to do so) was really not cool either. I wish the characters had called him out a bit more on his behaviour.

Overall though a very cute read with some pop astrology, an escape room, and fake dating.

I'm weak for a modern, sapphic Pride & Prejudice inspired romance with fake dating ♡
Both main characters were incredibly relatable to me, and everyone felt very real. It also helped that I was reading this book with a friend, so my competitive nature motivated me to read faster whenever the emotions slowed me down.
I know that this isn't the most profound book ever or anything, but I enjoyed it and it was a sweet romance ♡
