THIS WAS SO GOOD 😭

I've owned this book since I came out and I'm kicking myself over how long it's taken me to read it because I FUCKING LOVED IT. Ugh. 

It's been a long time since I've read a book that genuinely made me laugh out loud. This book was delightfully hilarious and witty and banter-y. It was glorious. 

That's not to say the romance wasn't top-notch because IT WAS. Oliver and Luc are an unlikely pair but they are just so perfect together. I loved how they balanced each other out and cared for one another and reassured each other (even during the parts where the relationship was "fake"). This book made me so soft and I loved the slow build because it just made everything else feel so worth it. 

Now, excuse me, while I go cry in a corner about how every book I read isn't like this one. *Sigh*
