The Fine Art of Pretending by Rachel Harris
3.0

Super quick YA contemporary. It was pure fluff, but there were definitely moments I found myself grinning like an idiot. I did feel like it got to be a little repetitive with the back and forth between the two main characters. Also, the story was pretty surface-level as far as plot and character development. But it has one of my favorite tropes (two people pretend to be in a relationship and then really fall in love) so I ended up being pretty satisfied.

It felt like a teen romantic comedy from the 90s, which is not a complaint at all. As someone who *was* a teen in the 90s, I appreciated the feeling I had reading this. That being said, it wasn't exactly the most unique story. It was relatively predictable. But still, I thought it was cute and enjoyed my reading experience.
