Okay, to be honest, I never was too big on the fake dating trope but I loved the execution of the author in this book. Hani and Ishu aren't overly pushing their fake dating and are keeping it relatively sweet.
I felt a lot while reading this book - squirmed during cute moments, angry whenever Hani's "friends" were invalidating her as a person or could just relate to Ishus situation with her parents and how they treated both her and her older sister. 
Nikhita, as well as our two main girls, were very lovable characters and I loved the development of Nikhita from how Ishu described her to have behaved and acted towards her to how she was presented in the books present and how she was there for Ishu.
Over all I really loved this book and it was very hard to put it down!
