the characters are so complicated and flawed, but they’re also genuine and thoughtful people - jonah and dylan’s backstories had me crying on multiple occasions.
if you love queer fake dating or rivals to lovers , please pick this book up - it’s definitely the best i’ve ever read from this trope!

*crime being making me sob with this gorgeous book
Wow. WOW. I can't believe how much I LOVED this book. It was so beautiful in every way. For starters, I loved the plot. I was getting kind of bored of fake dating in contemporary books because they weren't really offering anything new, but I'm so happy that this one did. It was such a refreshing read and I think a really important book. I am so happy Amanda Woody wrote it because it's so necessary. I love that this book exists.
Everything about Jonah and Dylan is beautiful to read. Their growth throughout this story is stunning. This story breaks your heart and slowly patches it together all while keeping you nestled in the cozy embrace of two incredible characters. I can't believe how much these two boys wormed their way into my heart. I cried reading this several times because of them and the love in their hearts. This book was so funny as well. I genuinely laughed so many times reading this. And then, of course, Amanda would give us a heart wrenching scene that made you sob. This has been one of the best contemporary books I've read in awhile. I loved every second of reading this. It is an honor to have read a book that was so clearly written with such care and love. I will never stop recommending this book.
