Book 3 of a 4 book novella series. Love the characters. Cute story. Pictionary scene was my favorite part of the story. It is steamy with a few spicy scenes.

This series is a joy - the setting (small town north of Toronto) the culture and values of this biracial Asian-Canadian family, fun with romance tropes (this one is fake dating) all executed with clarity, kindness, and wit. I particularly liked the specificity of Jo's competitiveness as a character quality that moves the plot forward.

Wtf, I hate everything about it. The audio book voice is not great. The dialog is stuff that no one would ever say and soooo stiff. I'm also bored, usually I at least want to know the ending. But in the case of this book, I just don't care.
