This was just what I needed! A read that had me engaged from the get go and sucked in! It was so fun and the banter was cute. The friends to lovers was a little fast as it felt more like a meet cute to lovers than a best friendship, but still a great one-sitting read (that I read over a day and multiple sittings because of being an adult). Including fake dating and the one bed trope.
