**I received this book as an ARC in return for my honest review**

This book was way more intense than I expected for a fake relationship, college romance. It deals with the heavy impact that domestic abuse has, and how things aren’t always what they seem. I loved reading the story of Teddy and Vanessa, how they went from strangers to friends to lovers, all while dealing with Teddy’s father. They might be an unexpected pair, but they’re so good together! The book shows so well that family and home isn’t the same for everyone, it’s not always about sharing blood. Home is where you can be happy and with who you can be yourself with, without having to fear consequences for being you.
