5.0

Oh my gosh, this book is easily 5 stars. I have no clue how there's a debate on this book. Anyone who loves a (slightly spicy) romance should pick this book up immediately. From the fake dating to the secret pining, this book has so many *chef's kiss* tropes. I don't know how it took me so long to finish this book because when I did open it, I couldn't put it down. If I'd had more spare time, I would've for sure finished this book in a week max. This book is just... it's amazing. If you're looking for a good, not stereotypical romance, this is the one you need to grab.

Sort of spoilery review here:
I really just wanted to take a moment to talk about diverse this cast is!! The main character is demisexual (me 2 girl), her best friend is Vietnamese, her other best friend is presumed to be bisexual (also me 2), her advisor is presumably Turkish. like the cast is just so diverse which is so nice to see. All too often do books just feature a bunch of generic white people so it was nice to see a good mix of everyone in this cast!


My opinion on how spicy this book is:
There's only one part of the book that features smut, however it is pretty graphic. I have put as a warning that the smut is graphic because it is, but it doesn't last for very long. I honestly think there was less smut in this book than in any of the Emily Henry books I've read. That being said, use your noggin and do what's best for you!!
