Amazing book, I loved the side characters (and the main characters), the side characters were so funny, and they were so fun to read.

What a cute romance! It’s the story that all the other fake dating stories aspire to be.

Me gustó y me entretuvo, pero sin más. Es uno de esos libros que acabaré olvidando con el paso de los meses.

Exactly what I needed to read today.

Honestly I think I could've liked this one a bit more. The humor was pretty good, but at the same time I don't think I am nearly British enough to understand a good amount of the jokes/references. However, my main complaint is that there was too much
will-they-won't-they and unnecessary dumping and drama. It is very quickly obvious that Oliver likes Luc, yet he still takes another 200 pages to finally accept that and as soon as he does, OLIVER dumps HIM, only to take him back like five pages later!
  Despite some frustrating moments, it was indeed a charming little rom-com that I did enjoy, so I think a roughly 6/10 rating is fair.

I am really sorry to give this book a bad review, but honestly, it just wasn't good. These are the storylines:
-fake boyfriends, enemies to lovers
-preservation of dung beetle

yeahhhhh this wasn’t great to be honest, the first 100 pages are fairly okay, relationship buildup and everything but the rest of it ? damn
this book has put me in a reading slump and i’m blaming it

the main character, luc, has no personality apart from being gay, i almost feel like the point of this character is to make fun of gay people in a way ? (straight token friend, no hanging out w straight people like come on man)
alex was okay i guess but it didn’t matter much to me at this point

2 stars cause it did take my mind off work for a little

update : dnf at 85%

Charming, delightful, ridiculous.
