I like how Kosoko Jackson writes. Part of the fun of reading Jackson's work is how he narrates the character. I'm So Not Over You follows former flames who have to be fake boyfriends for a meeting and a wedding. It gets complicated, and in my opinion, the fake boyfriend trope is the dumbest, but also my favorite in the romance genre.
Kian is an aspiring journalist whose ex, Hudson needs his help to impress his uber wealthy family. Kian is a mess of a character but he's fun to read. The way he's written is part of the fun of reading this.
This felt like the great romantic comedies of the 90s. It had the right amount of wealth porn with just enough reality checks that the world Hudson lives in isn't for everyone. Kian keeps his guard up and doesn't trust people easily, particularly someone who hurt him in the past. When ready romcoms I tend to give passes to some of the plot bc it usually doesn't make sense. This was no exception.
That being said, it was a fun read and I'd recommend it.
