"People shouldn’t take on something to love and expect it to be convenient for them. You have to meet a living creature where they are, and love them for who they are, not who you want them to be."

A++ for healthy and mature communication (after initial meet cute disaster bickering) and great care and kindness. Characters inspired by Benedick and Beatrice of sharp-witted, sharp-tongued Shakespeare fame are always a good idea in my book — bring on the banter that develops into a more in-depth understanding! And fake dating to get revenge on meddlesome friends is the BEST reason for fake dating. Especially in a close-knit group of meddlesome, competitive, regular-game-night, Friendsgiving kind of friends.
