Fake dating AND only one bed tropes, okay! My critiques are the dual POVs switched around too frequently and the constant use of “getting railed” and “tiny bartender” nickname got old quickly.

As far as romcoms go this was top notch in my book! I don’t gravitate toward romcom genre because they’re just very surface level, full of tropes, and usually pretty cliche. This one was also full of tropes and a bit surface level but so very cute and the banter between the two MC’s is so freaking good!!!! I guess this is the second in the Mr. Wrong Number series but it can (as I have) be read as a standalone!

This book was really enjoyable to read! Loved the characters and their troubles. I recommend it if you are looking something easy and good to read.

On par with the snark I love from Emily Henry. Now I’ve got her entire backlist on hold at the library.
