A fun and easy read with one of my favourite tropes (fake relationship).
A very tiny gripe is that it could have used another pass by an editor for minor grammar issues, and perhaps a UK-based reader for some things that read as extremely American and don't work in a UK context, but they don't detract from the story at all.
Overall, I enjoyed that the story made it clear to us early on that both women were into each other (even if one remained a bit clueless for longer) rather than keeping us in suspense as so many of these stories do, and instead built up the tension between the characters.
