This was cute and the characters felt realistically fleshed out. Just not what I'm looking for in a fake relationship romcom. Didn't feel any tension between the characters or driving the story forwards. The third act breakup was SOOOOOOO long, I had to literally force myself through the chapters and chapters of boring sadness where nothing happened and which didn't feel necessary.

When I hear fake relationship I want UST, awkwardness, forced proximity, PINING, and this did not give me any of that. Very sweet. But I'm a bit bored of sapphic romances just being sweet.
