This book was just a delight to read. I fell in love with all the characters in this book and I could not stop reading it!
In this book, we follow Hana, who has just launched one of the lead roles in a new K-drama. Because of the initially bad ratings, she ends up in a fake dating situation. I loved the fake dating part of the book as it just showed really good communication between the characters and a beautiful friendship is formed between Hana and Bryan.
There is also a friends to rivals situation between Hana and Minjee. I loved their interactions so much and loved seeing their friendship bloom into love. While most of this book is very happy and lighthearted, some more serious topics are discussed. One of them being queerphobia in the Korean entertainment industry. I think the author handled this very well and showed it very realistically. It hurt to read about the things the characters had to go through, but sadly this may also happen in real life.
Something else I loved were all the descriptions of Seoul and the food descriptions. It really felt as if I was next to Hana seeing all the places she visits in the book.
For people who have also read I'll Be the One by Lyla Lee, there are also seem little references in the book! I loved seeing these as I loved I'll Be the One as well!
Lastly, I just want to give a shout-out to Hana's parents! They were so loving and supportive of Hana.
Concluding, if you love K-drama's, fake dating and sapphic romances, please read this book <3
