The first part of this book with the fake dating scheme was cute, but so many parts of this fell apart for me. There were a number of threads but none of them quite felt fleshed out enough. The romance between the leads felt too quick after both getting out of LTR that they were both happy in. The characters felt more two dimensional than I expect from an Emily Henry book. If I didn’t know it was written by her, it could have been written by anyone. It lacked the depth and emotions that I’m used to getting from her other books. This is definitely my least favorite of hers thus far.
