So sad to report that I didn’t enjoy this book like I thought I would.
I loved the characters but I think I hated the book. The entire thing is a mistaken/secret identity so there was a lot of lying and manipulation and it bummed me out… like a lot. I wish I could have read about Daphne and Chris catching feelings in a less painful way. The reasoning for keeping the lie going weren’t fleshed out nearly enough so I ended up being pissed off at the liar and feeling incredibly sad for the person being deceived. These two deserve better!
