Flew through this so fast because it was so cute! Be still my heart.
I instantly loved the chemistry between Mimi and Vincent. It felt very real and kind of reminded me of Janine and Gregory’s chemistry from Abbott Elementary. The slow burn was 🔥
I think fake dating can be a trope that is difficult to come off as believable. And in this case, the reasonings actually seemed plausible. Their first meeting was absolutely adorable and their continued flirting was such a great slow burn.
The 3rd act conflict wasn’t my favorite but the characters explained themselves in a way that didn’t totally make me hate it.
Loved seeing Vincent be a confident black astronaut. I don’t think I’ve read a book with astronauts before or where a character has space knowledge. I related to the characters not having confidence in themselves and being anxious in certain situations. I enjoyed that Mimi wasn’t whiny and knew what she wanted out of her career.
I’m all for characters taking chances, owning up to their mistakes, and finding love with people deserving of it.
Overall really liked this book and will look for more from Easton in the future.
