I loved the childhood friends to lovers and marriage of convenience scheme. I also really trust Sonora to write immigrant storylines without it feeling like a plot device (same way with how I loved Lesbiana). Just so many little moments I really liked with drag show backdrops and the post it notes.
The reason for 4 vs 5 is that the villains are one dimensional. Not saying this story necessarily needs a rewrite in that regard but I think if they are going to be that way then have less time on the page. I would have loved more time with the two main characters fake dating turned real instead.
This is new adult with 1-2 spicy scenes and they definitely read young which is not a critique at all I felt their world and actions were actually so accurate to their ages.
Thank you so much to Forever for the ARC!
