"This book was enjoyable. Slow to start. REALLY slow.<br/><br/>And it’s so formulaic. Just about everything that occurs in this book is…standard.<br/><br/>1. H and h hate each others, well more like h hates H. H doesn’t realize h is in existence outside of acting together.<br/>2. Theater manager and H’s agent craft half-cocked plan to have H and h pretend to be in a relationship to improve ticket sales (lmfao ok then)<br/>3. H and h attend social events and things and act poorly (ironic) like they’re in a relationship<br/>4. h gets terribly terribly sick. H becomes a mother hen and starts to show signs of possessiveness.<br/>5. H does nice thing with no prompting from h, h decides to have sex with H. This is such a standard plot device. And it’s so un-empowering lmfao.<br/>6. After their first encounter, suddenly love. Well not suddenly, but also definitely suddenly lmfao<br/>7. h gets sexually assaulted by smarmy older gentleman and H saves the day.<br/>8. BETRAYAL! h accidentally lets secret out that H has kept for years and years. He told her because love is stupid and blind.<br/>9. After barely any groveling (and I barely care about groveling) H just forgives h…which is cool but man, wtf.<br/>10. Books end in marriage. Who didn’t see that coming? lol<br/><br/>Short book, missed a lot of development opportunities. But better than maybe the last five I’ve read, so there’s that."
