It couldn’t be better. The book perfectly blends real life and fiction. The story takes place at a university in America. Olive, a 26-year-old student, wants her best friend to start a relationship with the love of her life. However, she is hesitant because the love of her live is Olive’s ex-boyfriend. For this reason, Olive came up with the idea of claiming she has a new boyfriend and that it’s no problem for her. When Olive claims she’s going on a date, but she’s actually going to the lab to work and her best friend suddenly shows up, Olive kisses the first guy she can find, and like that the whole fake relationship begins.
I like the story because it seems relatable and (almost) real. I felt connected to the protagonist several times because of the decisions she made. There were also plot twists that I didn’t expect, which made the whole thing even more exciting. The book also deals well with the topic of self-confidence and the fact that you don’t have to put up with everything.
The relationship is also impressive. The “partner’s” consent is always asked for, as it should be in relationships. I think it’s wonderful to read how the author thought about this and shows readers that this should be a natrual part of a relationship. 😌
My conclusion: I think it’s a very good book. The English is easy to understand (should be readable from B2 level upwards). I recommend the book to anyone who is pursuing a (work) goal and doesn’t always find it easy. It gives you strength and courage to achieve your dreams.🤩
