This is one of the best narratives I have read in a while. It is such a wholesome story with fun and interesting characters. I love bitty and jack and being able to read an lgbt+ story that isn’t interlaced with tragedy was refreshing. I still go back to this series when I’m sad and need a pick me up and I will forever remember Samwell and Bitty.

I had high hopes for this book but I was pretty disappointed. I love a good fake relationship trope but I don't think it was used to its full potential, practically everyone was in on the secret. There was also a weird "I'm not like other girls, I'm weird" thing going on that really put me off. Every time there was a sex scene the main character would be wearing Marvel themed underwear?? (do they even make Iron Man bras?) The character also didn't have any development. There were a few turning points in their way of thinking but they were abrupt (as in they weren't even close to having that realization at the beginning of the chapter. Maybe I'm just a romance snob or I'm not the intended audience. Either way, readable, but not my favorite.
