A very enjoyable lesbian romance novel, with no love triangle or stupid miscommunications. Even the fake dating trope felt different with two women who actually have communication skills.

Very sweet, low stakes, fake relationship turns real. I loved both main characters SO much. I loved that Elle was very much a believer in astrology and Darcy didn't believe at all, and yet they didn't let this stop them from falling in love.

My only disappointment was that there wasn't a distinct connection to Pride & Prejudice. I expected that there would be, with the main characters Darcy and Elizabeth.

3.75/5⭐️ I will always love love love a sapphic romance. They hold such a special place in my heart. And I will never rate one (unless there’s some hidden homophobia) lower than a 3 stars. This one didn’t make me feel much tho. There was a very short period of time where I felt for the characters and liked them. The beginning was a bit slow, and the ending sped up way to quick and ended in a weird way.
I’ll always love a fake dating romance. There was just one mc here that was honestly rude. Like Elle was so sweet and maybe a little chaotic but in a cool way! Darcy was stuck up and immediately hated on Elle. They both had trauma and instead of talking about their boundaries, they get in a situationship. Of course this book had so many moment where one of them said something and the other one over heard and it became a big thing. But what did they never do?? Actually talk about it!
This was a pretty good book and I was able to get through it in a day, but I am going to say that they only have a real conversation during the last chapter of this book…

overall the story was cute but i really didn’t like the writing style, it made it very confusing and difficult to read

DID NOT FINISH: 6%

I have tried to read this book physically and on audiobook. I legit can't get past the first chapter, it's just so cringe.

3.5! It's a very sweet book, but predictable. Totally fine, but there were parts I felt like I was skimming because of it. Although this is the second book in 2021 where one of the main characters writes fanfic!
