What a weird ass book in the best way possible. I expected to enjoy this book what with it being fake dating AND forced proximity but the added benefit of an incredible narrator’s voice and amazing comedic timing really hit the ball out of the park with this book.
I enjoyed the narration and first person pov so much! It made for an incredibly engrossing reading experience, it felt like someone catching me up on their life after years apart.
I loved Hannah and Jack. Their goofy chemistry really hooked me. The yearning and slow burn of it all was so gratifying and the payoff at the end was supreme.
I also loved Hannah’s character growth from self loathing and escapism to acceptance and love.
I felt like the epilogue really went on for too long mainly because it was a lot of telling and no showing but it was fun all the same.

Fake dating a movie star with one bed? Perfect setup for a book!
I thought it was a great blend of serious moments and romance, making for a decently realistic romance. While I wish there were a few more romancy moments, I really liked how the book kept me on my toes waiting to find out how they would get together. The writing was a little cliché at times, but it was a very enjoyable read, and I look forward to reading other Katherine Center books!
