The book legitimately had me laughing out loud during most of it, but still managed to focus on topics of homophobia, found family, mental illness, and what love truly means. I really loved the author took the traditional "fake dating" plot and added in a cast of characters that I genuinely really liked and somehow made me root for a main character who pretty much had zero self-esteem the whole book (which usually find very annoying). The ending was extremely satisfying and although their are 2 more books in the series, I feel as though you could really enjoy this one without reading the others. Only reason its not 5 stars is because sometimes I wanted to shake Luc and Oliver for being so dumb about their emotions, but at the same time its a faked relationship trope, so it comes with the topic.

I would highly recommend the audio book because the narrator was so incredible that I actually liked the book more than the last time I read it.

In all honesty, the book was fine.

I'm just a little tired of reading the style of psychological posturing that is both superior and cynical from a self deprecating homosexual for the tenth time, and the main character for this one was extra insufferable.

The male lead was predictable on account of being both sweet and occasionally yawn inducing. It did, however, make it a bit more humorous to imagine him as something closer to Miles Edgeworth. I'm ignoring how that seems almost like a coping mechanism. 

I'm probably going to read the sequel then grumble about it too.
