It was slow going, and I know I only read 50 pages, but it was 50 pages of feeling meh about Picture Perfect.

I had such high hopes for this, too; I don't normally get to read romances with brown main characters, and this was perfect, but it fell flat. I wasn't hooked from the beginning, and to be honest, it didn't feel like it would get any better... but not that it was bad it just wasn't interesting like I don't mind slow burn or fake dating, they're usually my favourite tropes, but this wasn't it. The conversations felt artificial, and also, it was very short, like I was 50 pages in out of what 293? like it isn't long enough, and my biggest fear was that it was going to end up rushed. I get it fake dating is a popular bandwagon, but I just felt this was missing something, which was a shame because the plot had potential.

[No rating cause it wasn't finished.]
