In my heart, I know this is 3.75 stars. But I don't do quarter stars, only half, so I'll round up to 4.
This is cute! It had some of my favorite romance tropes-- including one bed, fake dating, and just one night. Despite all the tropes, it doesn’t feel overly produced (for lack of a better word) like Love Hypothesis felt for me. Ellie is adorable and relatable for my anxious heart. The struggles of our characters felt real, even if I didn't totally buy the reason for the 3rd act breakup. (The "I don't care about these very legitimate things to be angry about, I care that you didn't *believe in us.*") Another thing I was less than a fan of was all of the pop culture references. Those are a turn off for me in books, and it means this book will feel dated in a year.
Even though it wasn't perfect, I still enjoyed it and I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for some LGBT+ in their romance.
