Full RTC. There was a lot of this I liked, but there were some serious pacing issues and one too many HP references.

Het plot is flinterdun en de homofobie… wordt wel erg snel overheen gepraat. En de houding naar het vegetariër-zijn is wel heel 2009. Maarrrr ik moest er hardop om lachen. Dus

I think I just hated the main character! He’s super whiney and idk the third act breakup was rushed and stupid. Not my favorite :(

I wanted to like this book so bad, but by the middle the only thing i wanted was for Boyfriend Material to be over.

i’ll give you the short of it:

- forgettable secondary characters i couldn’t remember while reading
- insufferable main character
- the premise of their fake dating?? had no realistic stakes at all.
- the conflicts were super rushed, and cliche
- felt like a trope sandwich, like how many romance tropes can i fit into this one book? other than that there was little effort put in to even making the tropes believable
- humor was super rough
- there were points in this book that i had to set it down bc i needed a break. (sex scene especially comes to mind… YEESH.)

hate to be a hater but this book made it hard to be a lover. or even indifferent for that matter
