Soren is swoony

This is a fake relationship book that turned not fake almost right from the start.

I do not love nor hate the fake dating trope but I do think that the reasons for faking the relationship are usually stupid or shallow. Pretending to be in a serious relationship so the parents would think he's not going wild while in college? Hmmm... flimsy, but I'll take it.

I loved Soren. Such a solid guy. His flirty lines in the beginning got to me too so I don't fault Vi for giving in. He was protective of Vi from the start, he respected her, and I love that he didn't do anything stupid when he realized he was feeling more for her.

I honestly thought there was going to be some stupid third act breakup but the good news is there wasn't. Both characters were very levelheaded and I love that kind of maturity.

Soren: “What would it take to win the top spot?”

Vi: "It would take every day. Choosing me, every day, as the most important thing in your life, but you’re not interested in that.”


Will reread in the future? Probably.

Do I recommend? Definitely.
