I had the possibility to read it thanks to NetGalley. 

So we follow Grace a demi-sexual (?) lesbian who doesn’t want to get involved in a relationship, and Lia a pure romantic bisexual. 

The book started great. I mean fake dating? Awesome. I loved all the first part where they were at Lia’s family. But after that? It went downward. 

I also liked the fact that Lia wants to communicate. But she’s pushing way to much on Grace. Also Grace is not well written, and all the drama around her family seems so force. 

And if you have to recreate a trauma of one of your MC for her to confess her love? That a big no. 

Anyway. It’s sad. It started great but went meh. At least it’s a short a fast read

📚No Rings Attached 
This book was a struggle. There was so much fighting and miscommunication between the love interests that it made me not want them to be together. I kept reading because despite being very annoyed at the characters, I kinda wanted to find out how it would end. However, the resolution was underdeveloped, quick, and cliché. It seemed like a cheap way to still have a “happy ending” despite all the pain and heartbreak the main characters had gone though. I would recommend if you’re looking for an angsty romance with LOTS of ups and downs.

trigger warnings: infidelity mention, homophobia, death of parents

Bro this book was so stinking cute. Idk there's something about a character who is an emotional flight risk and the love interest who is eternally placid and ready to talk that just has me on my knees. I love this shit. We've got 50% fake dating 50% road trip and 100% forced proximity that is just TOO CUTE TO HANDLE. Loved this one more than the first ngl.
