The standing boyfriend really got me hooked. Enjoyed it a lot as a YA fake dating romance.

This isn‘t usually the type of genre I go for when reading but I‘ve been in a bad reading slump and decided to give this one a go. And I loved every second of it. It was perfect for what it needed to be and I think I read it at the perfect time. The characters were funny and lovable and though there‘s some moments of miscommunication, it made sense in the story and didn‘t bother me like it sometimes does. I really liked the writing style too!

This is about the prequel novella, not the book ‚the stand-in boyfriend‘ !
I really hated the mc of the novella, can‘t recommend it at all 🙈
Changed my rating from 3 to 2 ⭐️

You were right, Sadie Wen. I am completely, helplessly obsessed with you.
Love,
Julius
All of which is to say I really hope this finds you.
And I hope you find me too.
Sadie
I want you to hold me like a grudge, keep me like a promise, haunt me like a ghost.
“Do you always pay such close attention to everything people say?” he demands between short, uneven breaths.
“No. Only what you say.”
“You‘ll always be my first choice, Julius Gong.”
“Really?”
“Really.”
“You made it clear—so terribly clear—how much you hate me. That I‘m the last person in the world you would ever consider. But I kept looking for signs that would suggest otherwise. I kept wondering if it was still possible. Because I‘m willing to lose everything,” he says, his eyes blacker than the surrounding darkness, than the sky outside, “so long as I don‘t lose you.”
We move like two planets in orbit; both on the same trajectory, but never touching.
