Really enjoyed the childhood friends to lovers chemistry going on, the forced proximity and fake dating. There was good commentary on microaggressions. I'm not sure how i'd classify steam on this one, there's flirting and some kinda sexy moments (only one bed!), but it was lacking a bit. Not quite fade to black/open door, not quite explicit. But, the point of the book isn't the steam. The "conflict" was also annoying, especially with childhood friends to lovers and parents meddling. Very light and fluffy rom com style contemporary, interracial romance, cosplay and reality show plot.
