The thing is, the writing so so good. I love the writing.
It’s the story and plotting that reeks.
I hate the miscommunication trope. It was fun enough in the store to cock-block each other and she should stick with that.
But the whole getting fake engaged, then her WEARING THE RING in private is so fucking weird no person, realistic, would ever do that. And then continuing to go along with it even though they hate each other?
No. Everytime I read the ring on her finger I got pulled out of the story bc simply - wtf. Come oooon.
Then they continue with the fake engagement?
I can’t. I cannot.
Gosh I had hoped it would just be them cock blocking each other or agreeing to pretend to date to get off people off their back, a truce or something. Sexy, enticing, fun.
That would be more realistic but this?
