My thanks to Janisha Boswell for sending me an ARC! 

What happens when you fake date the charming captain of the hockey team? Wren and Miles having that black cat gf x golden retriever bf relationship was both sweet and wholesome to read about. I will never get tired of my favorite romance tropes. There was something special about the innate chemistry in this book, along with the great character development. This also heavily emphasizes mental health, which I found very important. I love my grumpy girls, and in so many ways Wren’s character was reflective to read (what’s scary was I honestly could relate to her a little too much). On the other hand, I was able to sympathize with Miles just as easily and I also enjoyed his playful, charismatic persona. I appreciate how the characters felt essentially human to me, with their friendship dynamics an added bonus to this already wholesome book. I’m looking forward to the rest of the books, with particular rivals in mind :D
