I am so happy I finally picked this up. This book has been in physical tbr for it feels like forever and just wow. The representation of anxiety was so incredibly real, I didn't think I'd like it given I have generalized anxiety disorder and I like to be taken away from my problems. It just reminded me so heavily of my own relationship and how people fix together so perfectly. And that was this love story.
Two ER doctors with a slew of miscommunication leading them to a fake dating situation. Jacob is desperately trying to convince everyone that he is fine that his brother is taking his ex girlfriend of almost three years while dealing with the daily struggle of crippling anxiety. His POV just showed his entire heart, I would protect him with my last breath. Brianna divorcee and car taker for her brother who desperately needs a new kidney finds herself completely misunderstanding the new doctor and building a friendship turned fake boyfriend. But everyone knows, it doesn't stay fake for very long.
The ONLY reason this was not a five stars was because the miscommunication got old for me. I desperately wanted something else and then the third act conflict was more miscommunication, that's what put the four star nail in the coffin.
