This was really cute! I loved the emphasis on communication and how there wasn’t any unnecessary drama. I also enjoyed the humour and all of the secondary characters, especially Kris’s family.
Unfortunately though, I just wasn’t sold on the whole reality TV premise. It seemed really cruel and out of character for our two heroines to lie to their families and make them plan a fake wedding (and honestly, their families are way nicer than me because I would’ve been mad to find out it was all lies after genuinely welcoming someone into the family and putting all that work into the planning). I was also completely baffled bythe choice at the end to get married over taking the money — weddings aren’t cheap but you can certainly pay for one with plenty left over with two hundred thousand between you.

A truly wonderful book, there wasn't even the standard 3rd act conflict or if there was it was so minor and done so well I didn't even get stressed. I love these characters and watching them fall in love was a treat
