0A cute, cute story about two urban planners and acquaintances who, in pretending to be married while looking at pricey NYC real estate, start to deepen their relationship. The fact that they know each other before the story begins really helps the pacing of the novella and avoids the dreaded insta-love. I felt like I was dropped into the rich world of the characters and their friends and family. Really enjoyed this fun read.
0This was pretty cute overall. I found myself a little bit bored by the end of it but still enjoyed my time with it. Oliver and Fay were a fun couple to be with. A great way to learn about a job I had no idea existed. The NYC built here felt very real as well. I enjoyed the value placed on Oliver's family and family relationships as well.
