omg this was SO CUTE!!! fake dating trope remains the superior trope IT WILL NEVER NOT HIT AND OMG THIS ONE WAS A FUCKING HIT!!!!! i really enjoyed the relationship and the characters, but tbh the third act break up ruined it a little for me. if it wasn’t bc i teared up in the epilogue (idek why i did, like nothing tear worthy happened yet i was 🥹🥹 when hearing it), so that’s the only reason it remained a high rating, bc like even if the breakup was dumb and pissed me off, the make up for it was worth it. so all in all perfectly balanced and MORE FAKE DATING ROMCOMS PLS N THX
