This was a great read! This book is about Harper who is a band geek and someone makes a fake Tinder account of her which could ruin her life. The author has amazing writing in this book and she features an asexual main character which I don't think I have read before in a book other then the character being a side character. The plot was very well done with the perfect amounts of conflicts being thrown into the story as there the MC is dating in secret with there being political scandals and drama. I do have to say that the pacing was a little slow for my liking but the story was still great. Overall the storyline was amazingly love and I enjoyed all the representations in this book.

The main character is Harper and I enjoyed her character. I feel as though so many readers can relate to her in some way because I felt connected to her. I enjoyed her character development in the book and how the side character helped her improve it. Our main side character is Margot who is more out there in the world ready to have fun. There are many other side characters in the book and I enjoyed how there was a diversity and representation of characters involved though I loathed Harper's best friends. The romance trope in this book is fake dating which is one of my favorite tropes just because you can see the love development but in this read I kind of felt that the romance was forced a little. It was sweet but I couldn't feel the slow burn feel to it.

The ending was well done with a happily ever after. Even though this book mentioned politics, I enjoyed how it wasn't heavily in the book where it just took over. Usually I run away from it but it was great in this book. This book was very well done but there are some things that were iffy about it. I totally recommend reading this book if you are fans of Love & Other Disasters and Red, White and Royal Blue.
