I was very surprised over this book in the absolute best way 😍 Couldn't ask for a better introduction to lesbian romance actually written by lesbians* 😍

I knew I liked the idea behind the plot  and I got excited to read it even more after discovering the authors are married.
It's a light-hearted reading, as the majority of the young adults are, I was scared the characters would be too childish since they were 18 years old and thankfully that wasn't the case (I would say the grownups were worse).
The love progress was great because I actually started the book shipping the original couples and midway I was won over by the hate-to-friends-to-love thing they developed (There was no cheating just to be clear). 

Jim is my favourite side character and the second best thing after the Fake Dating trope is the Fake First Date trope 😍 it was great and I do want a date like that!

*(I read Carmilla last year, she was obviously a lesbian vampire but she was written by a man warning husbands to be careful of their wive's lady friends)
