Who doesn't love a fake dating trope?
This book delivered on spice, witty banter and all the angst. I really loved how Devon made me feel for the main character because of her family's expectations and what damage that had caused her throughout her important and crucial female adolescent years.

I really loved this book! Because of Me is such a warm, emotional, and engaging read—and it made me realise how few books I’ve read that are set in Melbourne, Australia. Now I’m definitely on the hunt for more Aussie authors, because this was a setting that I could truly picture.
Noah completely stole my heart with his patience and quiet determination. His unwavering support for Amira, no matter what she needed, was beautiful to read. Amira’s growth throughout the book was incredibly satisfying— ...more

This book is sweet and enjoyable but didn’t quite click for me. While the premise had promise and the setting offered plenty of sweet, feel good moments, I struggled to connect with the characters—the MMC felt a little underdeveloped, and the FMC’s arc felt immature for her age. Still, if you enjoy, he falls first, fake dating, and one bed. It's worth reading. ...more

Amira and Noah’s story is a beautiful one. Fake dating, navigating through what is real and whats not when he falls first and HARD. The Bi representation in this book is beautiful and the misunderstandings and use of “its a phase” throughout are real and raw.
