The set up not my fav but enjoyed the middle and last third of the book! Their chemistry was well written and the miscommunications made sense. Character development a bit shallow but worked within the length of the novel.
Marriage of convenience, theater/music nerds, crushing on his Irish accent, immigration laws felt different in 2017, OMG why are you ok with your uncles knowing you were hiding under the table?!, yes nepotism is icky but it’s hard to be in your early 20s.

I really enjoyed the first 70% of the book but then it just got a little silly and repetitive.
First book by Christina Lauren and I was not disappointed. I am excited to read more by this duo.

This was slow to start but I really enjoyed it in the end! It was a funny, sexy, fluffy story and I did genuinely want these crazy kids to work it out. Also fun to me that this incorporated working on Broadway into the storyline.
