This book made me smile from the first time I read it. It was fun to follow the relationship between Lucas and Rosie since the first time they met. The stranger to lover, fake situation, and unexpected moments tropes blend well until the end. It is typically a slow-burn plot, I can see their relationship growing day by day.

Talking about the fun part for me was when both always brought up that best friend thing during the experiment. Like, bro, best friend never did that? I MEAN, MAYBE? But, both of you just know each other can we label it like "best friend?"

Rosie has a spotlight until the end. She's the one who leads the relationship. She's the first one who starts confessing her feelings to Lucas. She has good character development and I love it. For Lucas, he's a good guy for Rosie. He knows how to make that girl comfortable around him.
