I haven’t written a book review in ages because I’ve been in a reading slump, but this book totally pulled me out of it! I gave it 3.75 stars, which I think is pretty great. It took me about a week to finish, but considering I hadn’t read anything for like two months, that’s really awesome—even if it’s slow compared to my usual pace. Overall, this book was super cute. It’s about a girl named Violet who’s fake-dating this guy, Reed. I really liked it! I can’t wait for the next book that comes out on February 25, 2025. It’s about Grayson and Paige. Grayson’s this total grump who’s been in love with Paige for ages, but she’s totally clueless… or maybe she knows? Who knows! Grayson seems a bit emotionally immature, like he just doesn’t get how to handle his feelings. Reading that book is going to be embarrassing but also a fun ride. Just maybe keep it to yourself because honestly, I can picture you trying to explain it, and it’s just going to sound like people growling everywhere!
