With a mix of tropes I love (fake dating, has to sit on love interest’s lap in public, man who likes to go down, college/grad school AU) and tropes I find frustrating (excessive lying, miscommunications, girl protagonist is so tiny and man so gargantuan), this book was enjoyable and entertaining yet fell just short of my expectations.

Cute, funny story. Wish it was a bit more spicy and to hear Adams POV from time to time, even if it would have just been the epilogue. The ending is a bit flat. But its still a great book.
