A fake dating romance with a grumpy MMC.
It's a lovely, comforting romance read. The perfect book to read as a break from heavier choices. My favourite thing is the way anxiety is written about. It feels very real without being over the top. It's portrayed effortlessly though Charlotte's thoughts and descriptions of body language in a way that worked seemlessly.
The fake dating consists of a wedding and a Christmas party but I wouldn't say it's a Christmasy book overall.
What stops It from being rated higher for me is that it's a little long for a feel-good romance. It took me until about 30% in to get into the book and start caring about the characters. This is the mark when the fake dating kicks off.
A big thank you to Sloane Maddern for an ARC copy of Terms of Agreement.
I'd originally rated this four stars but the more I thought about it in the days after, the more I wasn't sure why. I'd say about 60% of it fell a little flat for me. It's not bad, just padded out so it's ⭐⭐⭐ for me.
