I found the characters loveable and the story a cute one. I love a good fake relationship trope. I do think the characters had some growth, but it felt very surface level and we didn't really dive into how they worked through that growth, which is why it doesn't get a higher star rating from me. Buuuuttt, still so adorable and worth the read.
I thought that I wouldn't love the lens of Mel being an influencer and Evan being a gruff wilderness man - it seemed like that would just be too big of a personality clash for two people to get over. But Amy and Evan just love so fully and completely, and by the end I was truly convinced that they loved each other for who they area. It made the story feel real and genuine.

I also just had a few not so great language issues: Melanie is supposed to be plus sized but says she “north of a size ten” which is still straight sized. The camping scene was so cringe and you can’t convince me she’d be in tip top sex shape within 2 days. Also the Ian kid was horribly creepy and idk why he was in so much of the book! Like talk about not understanding boundaries that’s horrifying.
*I started this review rating it at a 3 but keep going down and down lol*
Unfortunately this book just wasn’t for me.
