It was really cute tho, the characters were quirky and well-fleshed and worked well together. The background characters were sweet too, I wasn’t sure about Ashleigh at first but ended up loving both her and Julia and I think they added so much to the story.

I absolutely loved the story and its characters.
You might expect a standard romance with fake dating, but Emily gives her stories so much depth and makes it feel real.
Also, she touches more topics, family relationships and how your upbringing shapes you, adult friendship and the struggles of adult life.
Also, some parts are so funny, starfish …
🎤 Jennifer Whelan does a great job narrating the book. I love her Julie a lot!
