“Leaning on other people doesn't make your achievements any less yours, La La. You can trust me to help you carry the load. You don't have to do all of this alone. I know you can take of yourself. You've been doing that as long as I've known you. But let me hold your hand while you do it, okay?” 

It was a sweet and cute story right from beginning to the third act and I was happily just vibing along with the story. I really went in this book without even reading the synopsis and when I found out it's a fake dating trope, I was immediately hooked. Moreso when Luka got into the scene and made everyone swoon with Stella. Everytime he calls her La La, instant swoon. 

Rating this a little low because I did enjoy listening to the audiobook of this one, story-wise, it's not something really that different. Comparing to other fake dating tropes, I would put this a little low because although it did make me swoon, the third act killed it for me. Stella was just dumb as fuck. Yes, she fears abandonment but damn girl, you and Luka were already there. I just think that it was unnecessary and should just get together instead of being dumb like that.

Maybe in the future, I'll re-read this but as of now, it is what it is.
