This book was so sweet. Lucas is like the perfect man, I think I fell in love with him while reading this too. Elena Armas does so well with intertwining the serious stuff with lighthearted humor. I wish we learned a little bit more about Olly and his situation, it seemed like it was going to be more but then kinda just faded away. I will also add that this book is medium paced but the romance is a slooooow burn. Very low angst though, which is a plus!

I liked this better than the first one and connected better with the characters overall, but this series still doesn’t wow me. The story, romance and characterisation were all solid if not spectacular. I felt the ending was rushed and we got very little of the “what comes next”. There were several loose ends - I really would have liked to have heard more about the subplot with the FMC’s brother. I did enjoy the use of romance tropes as a way for the both the main romance and the FMC’s writing career to progress.

I really loved this at first, Luca and Rosie had such a good dynamic, but the fake-dating kinda ruined it for me. I'm usually ALWAYS here for that but it really changed their dynamic and just couldn't keep me interested anymore. Really had to work through those last hours

i might have liked this one better than TSLD?!?!?! and i LOVED that book and reread it like immediately after i finished it back in 2021. i absolutely ate this one up. i truly loved both rosie and lucas' characters. like they were so genuine, so likeable, and a little too relatable... i really enjoyed the plot of them faking dates/parts of a relationship to help her with her book - as a sucker for the fake relationship trope, i devoured that part. i think they were both very HOT as well - the shower scene?!!?!? ELENA, I AM IN LOVE.

i wish we had just a *little* more burn as part of the slow burn, but alas i survived on what we got. also, i wish we had gotten more insight on lucas' past, like a hint more, but overall a fantastic read and i cannot wait to read the long game!!!
