Wanted a cute romance, that is exactly what this is. But also in my opinion not a lot more than that.
The writing is not my favorite, the pace of the book feels way too rushed and I feel that the characters deserved a lot more body.
This is not the book for me, it was kinda boring at times and extremely predictable. I liked the idea and plot of the book, but I don’t think it is executed well.

I should have DNFed. Thin plot, flat characters, boring and repetitive writing…truly nothing going for it.
This was a fun, cute read and I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed the romance between Jamie and Erik.
I had a hard time truly believing Jamie’s situation, partly because it was too easy. Yes, there were some issues with his friends, and he was initially upset with his mom when he learned the truth, but he just slotted into his new role so easily. I felt there would have been a lot more angst about his identity and his future, more drama from people who questioned his appearance, even resentment from his half-brother.
But I did like Jamie, he was super sweet and really cared about people. He understood everyone’s motivations, so that tells me he is also really mature.
Erik’s story, on the other hand, I more readily believe. It also had the angst I was missing from Jamie. I ached for Erik and how he felt so distant from his family, how he felt he had to do what his grandmother and parents said, sacrificing his happiness to duty. I loved that Jamie’s entire family welcomed him and treated him so well, but my heart hurt for him throughout the story. And I was pleased that he had at least one family member on his side.
The ending filled my heart with joy and I wouldn’t mind seeing more of Jamie and Erik down the road.
