An adorable read! It has all the cheesy glory one would expect with a title like that. The tension and chemistry between Theo and Dylan is electric and made it work so well. The theme of family, and how different it looks to the characters was worked out well. I’m impressed by how this book managed to deal with the intricacies of these characters with so much care and love in such a short story. The pacing is very fast, so unfortunately you don’t always sit in moments quite as long as one would like. But I personally wasn’t bothered by it and was swept away. Fake dating will get me to read any book and I’m glad I picked this one up.
