This book was recommended to me based on my love for the Bridget Jones movies and they were 100% right and I love this book to pieces. I can’t really say too much about this book except gush about the characters, the love story and the fun I had with it. 
Luc was fun, relatable and a overall great protagonist. Oliver was a perfect love interest and I really related to some of the things he was struggling with. Their romance, even though it was a agreed upon fake dating scheme in the beginning, did not feel forced. It was fun and they really worked together. (A bitchy part of me always looks at the couples in romance novels and estimates how long they will stay together ... so for these two I’d like invitations to the wedding, the gold anniversary and their shared funeral in advance please!)
