Got this for free on Stuff Your Kindle Day and thought why not.  And honestly I liked it for the first few chapters.  It was cute, the characters were decent, and the set up of it sounded sweet.

However, it wasn’t for me.  The main couple agrees to a fake relationship and then two seconds like are like “let’s make this a real relationship”then acted as if it wasn’t mutual pining… like most of this book the FMC is over sexualizing the other MC, then there was the overall cliché vibes from the plot, also star rating off for having to read the name Daisy-Mae so many times.

Overall it just felt very juvenile and some of the characters connections were difficult to understand since I’m assuming they were from other books by the author.
