This book had me HOOKED.
I love a fake dating trope. When you add in how absolutely queer-centric the story is, it’s so much better. While this is technically the third book of this series, it is the first one I read and had no problem following the story — so yay for series that can read as stand-alones!
It was also really refreshing reading a book with a MC who had an anxiety disorder that didn’t magically go away throughout the story.
Only downside: I felt like the end was slightly rushed. But, I might have enjoyed it a bit more if I had read the other two books first as it does feel like a wrap-up for the series.
