Rival Darling by Alexandra Moody
2.75

Okay I did enjoy this, HOWEVER, the writing felt very juvenile and immature, like how I would write when I was a kid. I love dual pov and fake dating but it does get frustrating when the fmc is dumb and annoying. Reed was so obvious about his feelings from the beginning (though the insta-love was slightly a turnoff) and never lied to her when it mattered so when she suddenly distrusts him and doubts his feelings at the end, it’s like girl please. Her stubborness with the whole this is a fake relationship got annoying really fast too. But the Darling brothers are very wholesome, I want to see more of them. Minus that one cringy figure skating moment in the middle of a hockey game. Like what?
