HOWEVER, as a singer I could not get past the misuse of music theory jargon. Like damn, I don’t expect an author to be an expert on every interest their characters have, but wow it was distracting. Luckily it stopped pretty early in the book, but oof it hurt my heart. That’s what kept this from being a four star book.
What kept this from being a five star book was mostly the lack of trigger warnings and the casual misogyny. The spice was good, the relationship development was good, I liked the balance of plot and romance, and I loved the strangers to enemies to friends to lovers pipeline! But please, read trigger warnings before you read this book.
All in all, I really enjoyed this book and will probably read the rest of the series at some point. 3.5 stars.

Yes this was obviously a romance book, I mean the entire plot is fake dating. But the book covered subjects like sexual assault and domestic violence, and it did such a great job at it. It made me fall in love with the characters.
