This book started out real good, I enjoyed the relationship between the two main characters and how the fake dating trope was developed by the author.
My problem with this novel was simple: it was unnecessarily long. Contemporary romance novels are usually around 300 pages, but this one was too much. Many scenes felt superfluous and at one point the miscommunication and the continuous breaking-up became redundant and kind of annoying.
I get that this is supposed to be some kind of slow-burn, but…
these two already knew each other and were crushing on one another sooooo I don’t understand why we had to see them brake up and make up multiple times
