This was another fun read! Sharlot is visiting Indonesia for the first time and George is struggling to find himself in his family business. Both of their parents think they should be dating “the right person” and after a catfish orchestrated by both of their parents (independently of each other!) Sharlot and George find themselves in a the middle of a fake dating trope. 

 

This book definitely is skewed more towards a YA audience/theme and the behaviour of some of the characters reflect that, but if you embrace it, it’s a cute story.
