I was honestly super excited for this book, since I loved The Worst Best Man, but this just wasn't it for me. I couldn't get into the premise, and it felt a lot more flimsy when compared to that of this series' first book.

The main issue I had with this book overall was that it never really grabbed me. It usually takes me days, if that, to finish a cute romance because of how swept up I got into it, but I found myself going days, or even a week, in between sporadic reading bursts of this book. At some point, I hit 65% and realized I still just wasn't into this story or these characters, and it just became so hard for me to finish. If this hadn't been an ARC, I probably would have DNFed it.

I think a lot of this book is probably to blame for my lack of interest. I never got behind the relationship between Solange and Dean, and while there were some cute moments, I overall just didn't feel it. The premise also felt weak overall, with so many fake dating schemes just spiraling out of control (not in a fun way). There were also a lot of odd scenes here and there that almost felt thrown in, and were either so out there I wasn't into them, or so cringy that it ruined any relationship growth that happened during it. The ending also just put the final nail in the coffin, and while I feel like it could've been a cute ending for different characters, it just didn't fit Dean and Solange and didn't properly show the growth they technically went through during this book.

While I wouldn't say this book put me off of other books Sosa might write, as I did really like Worst Best Man, I'll definitely be a bit more wary going into them.
