This was one of two books that got me into reading - it's one of those books I wish I could read again for the first time. I read the whole book in two days, love the trope and style of writing. The only thing I will say about it is it is a little bit of a slow start, but well worth the wait until the latter half of the book. A light-hearted romance - loved it! <3

I couldn't put this book down! If you're looking for a slow burn romance novel than look no further. It was so beautifully written that I really grew to love the main characters.
I was surprised how the author had Aaron fall for her so hard before Catalina even knew what hit her, or at least did not want to admit there was real chemistry between them.
Their love story was well paced, I didn't feel like it was being stretched out and thought the timing always felt right when it came to their relationship developing. 

There's also another book about her best friend, I can't wait to read it!

A lighthearted read that was a little clunky at times, but the characters were lovable, the humor and pace was well-timed, and the overall lightheartedness of the book were great. This would be a good book if you feel like you're in a reading slump and need something light and easy to get through.

where is my irl version of aaron blackford??

this cheesy, frustratingly cute story would have been rated higher but it was too slow paced at times, even for my own liking. they didn't even kiss until like the last quarter of the book!!


i really wish i had a co-worker who looked like clark kent who is secretly in love with me and is willing to be my fake boyfriend to my sister's wedding back in the homeland because my ex is engaged and i don't want people pitying me if i show up alone. AND then said fake bf learns my native language on his own...??? truly wish that was me.


like i'm a picky bitch with very high standards. and to be honest, this book really made me realize that the bar is set so low for men because aaron blew everything out of the water and was too perfect. this book constantly had me swooning and kicking my feet and twirling my hair..


it was very obvious from the first sentence of the book that aaron is in love with catalina and of course, she has no idea of this. and i understand why she pushed him away AAAAAAA because of course there's a third act breakup but i really wished she wasn't so harsh towards him 24/7. their "beef" was always one-sided,
BUT!
i get it because of her trauma. his one flaw was being too scared to even ask her out to begin with.


“I’ll give you the world,” he said against my mouth. “The moon. The fucking stars. Anything you ask, it’s yours. I’m yours.”

so if you like typical slowburn books where there's strong emotional connections, hot sexual tension, bed sharing trope, and the male mc being hopelessly in love with the oblivious female mc who thinks he hates her, then i recommend this one.
