I seriously adored the shit out of this book! New author for me and I didn’t know what to expect but this book was just so incredibly cute and swoon-worthy.
I found the writing to be a little confusing in the beginning, but I got used to it and once I got into the story things made more sense to me. There were a lot of funny/witty moments and the story overall was very low angst and lighthearted, even if there were some more serious topics as well.
Jason was so adorable, quirky and utterly clueless - he had me laughing out loud several times and I loved the banter between him and Owen. I would have liked to know what Owen was thinking at times because his amusement with Jason was sweet and he was a few steps ahead of him through the entire book. I liked that Jason mostly just went with his attraction to Owen even if it was new to him and they were “faking” their relationship.
The perfect book if you’re looking for a fun, sweet and lighthearted story! Owen is just pure boyfriend goals and Jason’s cluelessness is hilarious. I’m curious about the other books in the series and I look forward to reading more from this author.

As most books in this series, this story follows a sweet, quirky, funny and likeable main character who is entirely clueless about the fact that his new 'friend' is actually completely in love with him.
The mix of pining and obliviousness is something I eat up every single time!
Jason was definitely someone I enjoyed to read about. He was easy to like, and charming enough for it to make sense that Owen fell head-over-heels in love with him almost immediately, even when he needed to patiently wait until Jason clues into his own feelings.
Owen was, like Jason, also a kind and very caring person. I didn't love him as much as I did Jason, but he was okay. As long as he was pining for Jason, he kind of did his job in this story, and he did the pining fairly well.
Personally, I do have to say that I loved the first half of this book a lot more than I did the second half. Once Owen and Jason kind of 'got together', it started to slightly drag, and I also didn't feel like their actual relationship lived up to the tension, flirting and banter they had before.
After a while, the story in general didn't feel as well developed or fleshed out. Nothing much seemed to happen anymore, and I was waiting for the story to pick up again or for something climactic to happen, but, aside from the identity reveal (which I actually found anticlimactic as well), everything was rather uneventful. It felt almost a bit messy, and not everything made sense.
This book has the 'fake-dating' trope, as well as the 'mistaken identity' plotline.
Owen does find out Jason's real identity pretty soon, but they're lying to everyone else due to some drama regarding Jason's twin and the rest of his biological family (who he had never met before).
It's all a bit confusing, and doesn't really get developed throughout the book at all.
Honestly, Jason's biological family (including his twin) pissed me off. They were really selfish and I didn't like them.
Overall, though, Jason's humorous and sweet personality made this story very enjoyable for me, and his chemistry with Owen was also good enough for me to root for them!
Long story short, this book was cute, fun, sweet and light-hearted, but some things could have been done a little better.

This. This is what I love most about Anyta Sunday... Banter, clueless sweetness, slow burn...throw in fake boyfriend trope and I've got five stars and possibly my favorite book of hers. Love!

I don't like the miscommunication trope. This one tried to mix that with humor. It walked a fine line between 'lmfao this is hilarious' miscommunication to 'hmmm maybe talk' miscommunication. I don't like books with public confessions either.
The characters were nice. Really nice. I would like my own Owen and Jason. They were adorable.

cute pero meh y la forma de escribir es rara y nunca llegó a entender bien lo que quiere decir la autora, es como que estuviera all over the place y me confunde

this final installment (for now) in the signs of love series didn't satisfy me in the least and i didn't care enough about the main couple to be charmed by all of the miscommunication and obliviousness. i found the writing style to be quite choppy at times, especially during the first sex scene, and in general there was some weird phrasing here and there. moreover, all of the family drama was not adequately resolved in my opinion and the ending was too rushed.
