i loved this so so so much!!!
i always love a good fake dating story and this one actually made sense and had everything i wanted! the tension, laughs, steam, everything.
evangeline was made for me i swear. she’s a smut lover and prefers reading about romances than trying to have any of her own. i connected with her so much. she’s a bit cynical when it comes to relationships but it makes sense once you know her backstory. however, that made her have a really interesting point of view that was distinct from dane’s.
dane was so fun! i liked the discussions around it being okay to not know what your gender/sexuality is. it made me feel really seen. i really felt for them when they were talking about their struggles with that and with their family not seeing them as anything but a deadbeat because they didn’t have a “typical career.”
but their relationship!!! it was so good! i loved the discussions around what the other person likes/doesn’t like and is comfortable with during sex because it made dane so much more safe and it’s really important to see those conversations happen. the amount of tension between the two was perfect, going from roommates who dislike each other to not being able to keep their hands off each other to being in love. you could really see it all play out and i felt like it went at the right pace to be believable.
the ending was also adorable and i loved how evangeline got closure with her parents and dane was able to follow their dreams of being a photographer!
