Real Kind of Love

I spent quite a while reading this book. Far longer than I would usually spend readings romance, especially when it is one of my favourite tropes: fake relationships. In fact, this wasn't my first attempt to read this book. I began this around the time of its release but it wasn't the book I was in the mood for so I put it to one side. This time around though I seriously enjoyed it. I wasn't really in a romance mood when I picked this up at the start of the week but I had something coming up I was nervous about so I knew a romance would be the most low pressure read for me and this was ideal. It worked. It distracted me from my nerves and was fun. I didn't expect to enjoy it so much when I wasnt even in the mood to read it. Clem instantly charmed me with her bookish anti social ways. Girl may not be a people person but she sounded like my kind of people so I was cheering for her to get her a sexy man like Jake because that's what she deserved. Jake frustrated me with all the blame he laid on himself. Seriously the self flagellation got old fast but I got why he felt that way. And I was interested to see when he would forgive himself and allow himself some happiness and move forward in life because he and Clem were so meant to be. The spark between them was insane so I enjoyed reading their story especially with Clem's hilarious family in the background providing all the comic relief. I loved Clem's family and how close they all were (even when Clem claimed to hate them she loved them. They annoyed her because they were all so close). I loved this book it was absolutely amazing and it was the perfect distraction when I needed it most.
