synopsis

Dina has a plan. Ellie was not part of it.
Now she’s in it. Deeply. Publicly.
It’s fine.
Probably.

The fake dating AU no one asked for, but we all need.

β˜‘ Notes:

  • loved this
  • really liked the way she wrote Ellie in this one – and Dina she was the drama and I loved that for her
  • fake dating not really my fav but I really liked this – they stayed true to their rules in this one which surprised me ngl and lowkey actually added to the angst

β˜‘ 2. Logistics and Liminal Space πŸ–€

  • aahhh I’m so excited to see how this goes ‐ like will the retreat be the entire book or just a smallish part? ‐ will nothing really happen physically but a lot will emotionally? ‐ it seems like some pushed down feeling for Dina are already resurfacing and nothing has even happened yet 😭
  • after the last one I read being 95% Ellie it’s so refreshing now reading one that seems like it’s going to be 95-100% Dina lol ‐ and I’m like really fucking w/ Ellie’s casual vibe vs her angsty one lol
