Maybe I'll change my rating later once I get enough time to think about it but for now this is how it is.

otherwise i feel like it was too fast for like…..no reason. if not gonna lie i love fast paced books but there were just so many inconsistencies? it’s like the author has a list of things she wants to put inside this book & tried to squeeze every little bit of it which makes the plot come out weird. This book felt like it barely had any plot until the accidental pregnancy trip that came out of nowhere in the last couple of chapters and keep in mind that is one of least favorite tropes. So, you could imagine Scarlett Sawyer's surprise when he asked her to go from personal chef to pretend girlfriend on the day of her resignation. The only question was, would an enigma from Abel's recent past tear them apart for good or bring them closer together than ever? But I do how to say, it's very fast-paced. I was on chapter two last night at like midnight and was able to finish it today at two pm.According to Mae Garten, those were a few of the choice words she’d use to describe her long-standing sparing partner, October Calhoun. Both the main character Mae and the love interest October were very immature and they should just get a life.

only reason i’m giving 2 stars is bc i rly loved the after care part & bc they’re pretty cute i guess. Mae has been holding on to a grudge for too long. In 2nd grade, Molly (October's crush) made fun of Mae in front of others, hurting her badly & October just laughed without knowing that she had heard him. She knew it was childish but the words still stung her and made her cry. After a few chapters, she told him the whole story & he apologized to her for everything. ☺️ I'm happy that Mae decided to study further & stop her business. She was banned from the industry because she outed her former boss for stealing money from underaged models for illegal activities, so he started spreading lies about her everywhere. She started her own company but it was going downhill. I'm happy that he went to jail. The epilogue was cute. ✨ The book felt very rushed at it genuinely had no purpose what so ever. And I also can't get over the weird names he called her. Mae met him when she was 5 years old and developed a crush on him, but due to a misunderstanding, they both started to hate each other, always competed with each other, and argued. After high school, they went on to build their careers and met 7 years later.Scarlett's no became a tentative yes, and somewhere in the midst of their charade, the lines between ruse and reality became blurred. And again, authors should seriously understand that being enemies and not liking eachother are two completely different things. They kept saying that the despised eachother and that they were eachother's nemesis or arch enemies when all it was was a misunderstanding that occurred in the second grade when they were just seven. I get that what happened did hurt her feelings but it's been over a decade since that incident and she should've seriously gotten over it.
