Fake Dates and Mooncakes by Sher Lee
Did not finish book. Stopped at 78%.
Everyone raved about this book, and it just feels so meh to me. It's very insta love and I don't feel at all engaged with the characters. It was compared to Heartstopper which is confusing because other then also being an achillean romance the two couldn't be more opposite.
I don't understand why they are even bothering fake dating, so much in this book doesn't make sense.
It all feels very fast-paced, to the point where it just doesn't make sense.
There is a lot of misogyny that just gets glossed over without mention. Dylan's sister isn't allowed to sleep over at her best friend since childhood, but it is okay for Dylan to go sleep over and spend the weekend with a complete stranger? Please make it make sense.
The cover is the only thing the I liked about this book. (Though I also liked the food descriptions!)
