Synopsis
Juliet was once a hopeless romantic, but things changed with her recent heartbreak. When she’s given the chance to revisit romance, but on a practice basis, she goes for it.
Will is quiet and shy and not a big dater. He’s trying to gain confidence in order to find a wife one day. So when the opportunity arises to practice with Juliet, he jumps for it.
Neither of them thought that things would go from trial to real life, will they be brave enough to act on their now fully developed feelings?
Thoughts:
I love Chloe Liese. She writes such real and wonderful characters. I love how there are always neurodivergent reps as well as other reps in her books. Her writing is just so well rounded, and the characters are so lifelike and feel like you know them. I loved getting to know Juliet and Will over the course of this book. I think a few things could have been explored a little deeper, but it was still a wonderful story. Will is autistic, and Juliet has joint issues and is gluten free. Over the course of this book, I felt that I could relate to both of them in my own right. Will because he struggled with saying the right thing, and Juliet for her gluten free life. I love how together they just worked. Oh and the Highland fantasy was just fantastic. I loved that Will was such a cinnamon roll of a character. I also appreciated that there was no third-act breakup in this one. I really don’t like it when that happens, and this book still worked wonderfully without having it. Fake dating is also one of my favorite tropes and I really enjoyed how it all played out. I devoured this book over the course of an afternoon in one sitting, I just couldn’t put it down.
