Not really a climax in this book and the fake dating thing fades away pretty quickly into the book. But it's very good and has good spice lol

Overall a wholesome, quick read featuring friends-to-lovers, fake-dating, and a found family you will fall for. Representation for mental health and the stigma dealt with by comedians -particularly female comedians - in a career where all they seek to do is show others some laughter, yet they are so often met with ridicule. 

My is a well developed character and I enjoyed his journey, and the relationships with his daughter, Hazel. Hazel and Fee’s relationship is a winner from the start, though I was hoping for more growth or exploration of Fee’s story; it felt like a bit of a quick fix at the end then a skip and a hop to the epilogue.

Quotes from comedians prologuing each chapter is a wonderful touch, and foreshadows what is to come in each chapter. The first person dual POV serves this story well, and the time jumps are easy to follow.

Such a fun and heartwarming read!! Get mental health rep here too. If you love romances that have an appropriate age gap, single dad trope, and grumpy/sunshine trope—you’ll love this one!
