Customer Reviews

Super cute!

I know I've used this word too often in my reviews recently, but too CUTE. All of the characters were adorable, Brendan and Margot were perfect side characters. Brendan's love for his sister made me swoon. The jokes between Darcy and Elle cracked me up, especially whenever Darcy surprised Elle with them. I especially loved Elle's character, with her job and her difficulties being taken seriously. I didn't take her job seriously at the beginning of the book, so it was a lesson in prejudice for me as well!

Cute & queer, these are a few of my favorite things

This was fun and a quick, easy read. I love a fake dating trope and I was excited to see it done with queer women, and I liked how well done queerness of multiple characters was done - not a lot of explaining or worrying about it, just this character is pan, this character is demi, this character is bi, and that's just how it is. Loved the kind of opposites attract vibes. I definitely want to read Hang the Moon now
