After owning this book for years, I finally picked it up and it was an okay book. I loved the forced proximity but the book could have been better, especially since it was so hyped up on booktok. If you like more of a lighter romance with mostly closed door romance then this is for you, but it was a boring book. I am hoping her other books are better though.

Quotes:
- “I can appreciate my body in a bikini and still want to set fire to the patriarchy.”
- “I am a homebody, through and through, and there’s nothing like being home.”
- “When I signed up for this honeymoon, I had no idea it would involve so much nudity...”
- “I stare up at him, hating the tiny fluttering that gets going in my chest because he knows the Harry Potter reference. I knew he was a book lover, but to be the same kind of book lover I am? It makes my insides melt.”

Tropes:
- One Bed
- Forced Proximity
- Enemies to Lovers
- Fake Dating
