I really enjoyed the first book and I was super excited for to get my hands on this one. I feel like this was a lot less cluncky that the first one. It flowed a lot better.
It was cute and fun. I did find the main character interactions a bit frustrating at various points. They were both so rigid and it got frustrating but I got over that quickly.
One thing that annoyed me was that there was repeated mentions of a character only feeling sexual attraction when they form an emotional bond but not once was the word demisexual used. I think it would have been amazing to have that very clear representation.

Lia and Grace have one thing in common their best friend Rosie. They have never met each other. But Lia, a brit living in NYC, needs a date to her brothers wedding to fend off her crazy families constant questioning of when will she get married. So Rosie comes up with a brilliant solution, have Lia bring Grace as a fake date to the wedding.
Grace is normally a very closed off person, but with Lia it just comes easy. After spending the weekend pretending to be Lia's girlfriend she can't deny the electric chemistry between them.
This book was absolutely wonderful. I loved the fake dating, the one bed trope, the bisexual representation. The story was just fantastic. I also really enjoyed seeing characters form the first book (Read between the lines) show up in this novel as well.
