It's really hard to define the pacing of this book, because as you can probably guess by the description of the book, they kiss rather soon (for the purposes of their fake relationship) and they also
Anyway, I love how this author manages to make her characters into real individuals, with their own problems and their own strengths. They aren't books that are ONLY focused on the eventual romance, but are also books focused on improving the individuals and their views of themselves, which is amazing. Dani has had one too many romantic relationships end in disaster and so she believes the best thing to do is just not have any more of them, and instead focus on finding the perfect "friend with benefits". Zaf is a hopeless romantic who has seen unhappy endings in his own life and wants to avoid that at all costs.
It's a beautiful novel in so many different ways. Highly recommend. Can't wait to read the Chloe Brown book next; she was my favorite side character in both Eve Brown and Dani Brown's books.
Warnings for anxiety, depression, a panic attack, and grieving over the death of a loved one.

I loved Dani a lot and related to a lot of her thoughts about being a post-grad student and the dedication to her work, and Zaf was just a genuine sweetheart, and the passion and dedication he had towards Tackle It was so heartwarming as well.
