It's such a cutie. I think I'm getting a lot into writer girl troupe because it's hella cute. Loved their chemistry, the Chinese culture demonstration, the way she made a whole lie about her love life to a class and become famous because everyone loves the way she writes!! They're cute together, it's a short story, we can see some development in them and that's really nice. Don't wait for a huge development, they are not adults, they're just kids trying to figure it out what they're going to do with their lives. It's a lovely story, fake dating troupe turned real (loved the title of the book!!). It's so sweet and heart warming. Loved it. If you love asian dramas, you should definitely read this one! ♡

Que coisinha mais fofa. Acho que estou a começar a gostar demasiado do tema "rapariga escritora" porque é bué fofo. Amei a química entre eles, toda a demonstração da cultura chinesa, o facto de ela ter mentido sobre a vida amorosa dela para passar a uma cadeira e ficou famosa porque toda a gente adora a escrita dela!! Eles são uns fofos juntos, é uma história pequenina, mas conseguimos ver algum desenvolvimento nas personagens, o que é bom. Não esperem por um grande desenvolvimento pessoal, eles não são adultos, são apenas miúdos a tentar descobrir o que querem fazer da vida. É uma história amorosa para quem gosta de "namoro a fingir torna-se real" (ps: adorei o título do livro!!). É uma história doce que aquece os nossos coraçõeszinhos. Adorei. Se gostam de dramas asiáticos, devem mesmo ler este livro! ♡
