I loved this so much. I’m a sucker for fake dating tropes and unbelievable coincidences in romance novels. This was all that, and the added politics and scheming of family dynamics of rich people fighting for inheritance. It was really fast paced, and the relationship development felt a bit rushed, but it makes sense considering the rest of the plot. I wish there was more time to get to know and see more of Gemma and Tansies relationship because I enjoyed their dynamic a lot. I wish there was a little bit more banter between them, but overall loved the characters and the book was full of characters that had depth and were filled with life.

I loved this book. The characters were what really sold it. The plot was a little far-fetched but the characters and their dynamics were perfect. I loved all of them. I think my favorites were Ted and Brooks though. They were so funny and Brooks had so much depth that you learned as you read and he wasn't even one of the lead characters.
And then there was the main girls, Tanzie and Gemma. I absolutely loved them together. The fluff was so good and the spice was even better. I loved that they had open communication throughout the whole book too. They realized they had feelings or, in Tanzie's case, could develop feelings if they tried to do friends with benefits and they were both open about them instead of hiding them. It was refreshing to see in a romance novel.
I loved their relationship so much. This was definitely a fantastic sapphic romance story.
