    I receieved this book as an ARC and was excited because this book was a little different for me. I love fake dating but never read one about video gamers.

    I think that Lydia's and Griffins story was cute on how they met, but I felt like their time was rushed a little when feelings were confessed. I also did not like that they made Griffin sound like a bad person for protecting her, that was cringy for me.

    Overall it was cute, but I feel like if it had been less rushed, it would have been better.
