It is an hour past my bedtime because I was going to read for an hour or two before bed and instead finished the book.
I’ll Pretend You’re Mine is an emotional gut punch clothed in sickeningly sweet fake dating. I had the absolute best time with it. I might be crying on my couch, but I promise I had a good time.
If there is one thing I can expect from a Tashie Bhuiyan book, it is phenomenal anxiety rep. If there’s another, it is navigating fraught relationships with parental expectations. And if I get a third, it is kick my feet cute romances! And I’ll Pretend You’r Mine delivered on all three with an extra helping of queer characters!
Thank you to HarperCollins and NetGalley for making me cry right before bed. Wait, I mean for the review copy. The tears were all me.
