The True Love Experiment by Christina Lauren

4.0

This was fantastic. I think the only issue I had was being a bit blindsided by the 65%ish mark, when you find out

he cheated on his ex-wife

. The tone completely changed. That being said, I think this was such a bold story. It takes you to places you don't necessarily expect it to. It doesn't try to gloss over issues. And the characters felt so real to me, which isn't something I feel often. A part of me wished

there wasn't so much groveling on the fmc's part and just a teensy more penance from the mmc

, but even then I know the choices they made were intentional and still a worthy path to pursue. Idk, I just thought the sheer amount of creativity that went into making it was cool. the show in-book is satisfying because they take you along as if you're actually watching and it doesn't feel like a drag.
