Thank you to netgalley, Wattpad WEBTOON Book Group, and Tamara Lush for giving me this arc in exchange for an honest review.
I really enjoyed this book! I devoured it in one sitting because I couldn't get enough of it.
I really enjoyed Evie, Sabrina and Alex's characters. They were all quite likeable. As for Alex's family... not so much! I do wish we were able to see how things changed between his family and Evie towards the end but thats ok!
Even though this book had the very common fake engagement trope in it, I was still able to enjoy myself because it seemed genuine, I also really loved that he fell first!
Also the spice is this book was steamy and very hot!
