alexutzu's review against another edition

I believe that I had this on my list for a while (despite not reading the first installment), but well... this was not what I expected. And not in the good way. It was really hard for me to click with the style, the development was on the slow side and quite monotonous. I was invested at points, but it barely went somewhere so my interest decreased.

😍 The good:
The book started in a promising way, the plot was interesting and the characters' apparent personality and backstories as well. Sadly, the rest was not really up my alley.

😅 The not-so-good:
The characters started becoming quite problematic rather early in the book. The plot was overly dramatic and the pace was too slow even for a slow burn: a lot of talk, not much happening. Initially, the attitudes seemed healthy, but they evolved in a quite problematic manner. After reading some spoilers, I can understand why people feel that the story is predictable (either simplistic or traumatising), and I just did not feel the characters' romantic interactions overall.

Lia Harris agrees to take her best friend’s childhood friend to her brother’s wedding, pretending to be girlfriends. Grace has sworn off dating, but Lia changes it all for her. If you like fake dating, unpacking family trauma, and international love, you’ll like this book.

I enjoyed the book, but it was a little weird for the pacing. The beginning feels rushed and then the middle feels drawn out only before another rushed ending. Both main characters are very negative, but in a way that I felt was realistic to be hardened by previous experiences. It did feel like a lot of their fights could be prevented by just being more open and honest with each other and themselves. It was engaging and interesting, with many aspects I don’t often see in a sapphic romance, which I did enjoy.
