This was a bit cheesy at times, but overall a quick and fun read. I really liked Winnie and her sisters, and Winnie’s friends Kavya and Taran. It took some time for Mat to grow on me, but ultimately he did. I still don’t love him and lowkey wish that Winnie and Taran had been endgame, but I do think he and Winnie make a cute couple. And, minor though these things are, I liked that Winnie plays with a Nerf gun and that one of my favorite movies, To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before, was mentioned. Recommended for fans of the fake dating trope and romcoms.
