This gives such Lynn Painter vibes I loved it. The banter. The fake dating. One of us is famous. He rides a motorcycle. Absolutely ate this up.
+ Eliza is so relatable and I LOVE Caz. They had such good chemistry.
Wish we saw the reactions to her new essay

"When you care about someone, you want to be inconvenienced—you wouldn’t mind being inconvenienced by them every day for the rest of your life. That’s what love is. That’s all love really is."
This story and it's characters hits home. Once in a while you come across the books and characters that made you feel all kinds of emotions and you could relate to them truly and emotionally. It heals you and gives you hope all at the same time. This book was that book for me.
This book was purely beautiful. It is full of hope, humour, love, emotion, healing, friendship, family, vulnerability and so many fluff and cute adorable moments between Caz and Eliza. This was like super cute and enjoyable and the characters were so much relatable especially Eliza. I loved absolutely everything about this book. From fake dating concept to knowing the meaning of 'Home'. It was perfect. I never expected to like it this much.
Ann Liang perfectly shows the challenges of living in different countries while growing up and making your dreams a reality while going through so much in your life, and all the while finding a place and people that feels like home.
I liked Eliza's family dynamics and how her family always spend some time together by watching dramas and talking about each other's day and some random stuff. These kind of small moments and efforts are what makes a family. I also loved Eliza's relationship with her mother and her younger sister. How they always comforted each other with love and humour.
I love how Eliza and Caz slowly and steadily fell in love all while doing those "Chemistry Experiments". Eliza never believed in love but somehow Caz helped her to understand that she can also have a romantic relationship and she just needs to believe in herself. They both were so cute and are made for each other. They comforted each other and it was purely beautiful to watch them fell in love. And their banter was hilarious

"Home for them was one piece, one place, not something scattered all around the globe, fragmented into something barely recognizable."

"When you care about someone, you want to be inconvenienced—you wouldn’t mind being inconvenienced by them every day for the rest of your life. That’s what love is. That’s all love really is.”
a little cliche, a little cheesy, a whole lot of fun.
would've been a 5 star if not for the ending feeling a bit rushed.
