This was exactly what I needed to read this month - it was fast-paced, mind-numbing and so easy to just fly through. Don't get me wrong, it was very cringey and so ridiculous but also adorable and very relaxing. I loved the two main characters and thought the romance was believable ie. it made sense why they were together and the chemistry was definitely there (and fake dating is my guilty pleasure so...) I also really appreciated how, even though it's a mlm romance, both guys were fully out and comfortable with their sexuality - not that I don't enjoy a romance where one or both of the characters are discovering they're gay, it's just nice to read about gay characters whose main plot point is something other than the fact that they're gay.
