 This was my first book that had trans characters, and I loved it and the way the topic was addressed. The story was a fun ride through a fake relationship that led to real feelings. When Luna finds herself unemployed, she has to scramble to figure out how to pay the bills. When the opportunity falls in her lap to be the fake girlfriend to Jean-Pierre, there is nothing stopping her, especially with the amount of money he is offering to pay her. Long nights trying to learn to cook and paparazzi-laden evenings send Luna and Jean-Pierre into each other's arms. This was a fun take on this trope and I enjoyed it. Thank you, NetGalley, for the eARC. 4 stars
