Okay, this is definitely my favorite book by this author for sure. I loved reading this book so much. Luc and Oliver are amazing characters, and I absolutely adored their journey from reluctant acquaintances to much much much more. I really enjoyed this take on the fake dating trope. Let's be honest, they were never fake dating, they were real dating the whole time. They were just too stubborn and in their own heads to see what they were doing. I loved how they stood up for each other, and the way Luc told off Oliver's family was gold. I was over here practically cheering. I also really loved all the side characters. Luc's mom is hilarious, and I love her. Also, Luc's friends are amazing, and I was always laughing whenever they showed up on the page. I really appreciated the balance between the humor and all the hard-hitting emotions. All in all, this book is great. I love it. Go read it.
