The Academic Bride by Lucy McConnell
5.0
cindy of erlauf recommended this book to me when she heard i was a fan of arranged/fake marriage tropes!
i was a little unsure when i heard the premise, but it was outlined really well! it didn't feel creepy or like one of those "sell your soul" kind of billionaire bride stories. the couple was really cute, and i appreciated that they were both in emotionally healthy places-neither one was "damaged" or trying to "fix" the other. when they had trouble or disagreements, it was handled in a mature way. a nice change! : D also, the nerd in me loooooved the five love languages being included! (i'm a words of affirmation/physical touch girl myself ; D)
i also really enjoyed the Great Chocolate Brownie War, haha.
my only thing is i wish it were longer? the ending seemed really ubrupt, and i wanted more details on their lives and things!
