I loved this book! The family drama, the found family of Gemma’s friends, amazing! I was intrigued from the start of the book, I loved the authors writing, she made the mundane seem interesting. I loved the premise of it being a marriage of convenience for them and how Gemma just immediately went along with no prompting to a stranger no less. I loved their relationship and watching it grow into something real. The cast of roommates was so fun, loved every single one of them. Needless to say I hated Tucker and Lucy but the author did a good job making them hateable. I hated the ruined wedding everything was going perfect. But the surprise proposal/marriage scene made up for it. Kinda sad they didn’t have their big wedding though. My favorite scene was their revenge on Tucker with the glitter, as they said I wish we were there to see it explode on him.
The smut was *chef’s kiss.* I wish there was more of it than just the two scenes, especially since Gemma was always teasing about keeping her promises.
I hated how Gemma felt like she failed at the end and thought Tansy wanted nothing to do with her even though they both still loved each other so much, was screaming at the book at that point because Gemma couldn’t see what was right in front of her.
