Cheesy, with fanfic-esque writing, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this. It reminded me of red white and royal blue in the haters to lovers with need for fake dating that that book had. 

I won’t critique the writing because honestly it was overdone and compensating for something and I could go on for ages about it. 

-the charities name was stupid 
- Oliver’s parents were assholes
-homophobia never adds anything to the plot 
- token straight or gay friends being a highlight/plot point is stupid. 

Overall I’m glad luc and Oliver ended happy and I’m interested to see how the next book goes.
