3.5

Ughhh, I'm so torn on this.

There were times when I thought I would rate this atleast 4.5 ⭐. The beginning was a bit slow but Rose & Jack were just perfect for the fake-dating trope, I really fell in love with them and their story.

But a plot twist at the end really changed my rating. Of course, every romance has its drama  but this one just didn't feel romantic at all, much more stalker-y. There were also some consent issues during the sex scenes which were probably meant to seem sexy but just made it feel too dub-con for me.

Really wish I could've rated this higher!
