"Definitely a good one! Sweet while also carrying quite a bit of heavy"

Brenna Luevano

"Sweet romance- marry your best friend for the medical insurance and then fall in love with them"

Nicole Sinders

"4/5⭐️ childhood best friends to lovers, marriage of convenience, funny and sweet and heartfelt. Closed door."

Bry

"This book was really enjoyable. I love the friends-to-lovers trope and I thought the marriage of convince was a good spin on it. Pointing out how the stupid healthcare system is a plus for me. Being nit picky, I thought there was a little less character development then I would like and it spent a bit too much time with each character secreting being in love with their best friend. However, still a cute read! 2/5 for spice"

Lauren

"This book was so cute, but was also realistic. A relationship is meant to not be a permanent stop in time where you don’t continue to develop as a person. You grow together and sometimes it take a lot to get to that point. Of realizing that your actions have effect on everyone and you have to consider everyone’s point of view. Noah and Mia were endgame. I’m so happy knowing they are. Also, it’s so refreshing to see couples supporting each other in their goals. Yes!"

Rissa Black

"3.75 stars - I enjoyed this story even though I’m not the biggest fan of friends to lovers. However, I love he fell first and mutual pining which are also present in this book! I just felt like Would You Rather didn’t pack as big of a punch as The Roommate Pact."

"*swoon* I loved this book. I love a story of best friends who are mutually, secretly pining after each other. Noah and Mia are beyond sweet. Great love story with meaningful themes and character development. Highly recommend. Can’t wait to read more by Allison Ashley. "

" 🎵 Book song: Favorite T-Shirt by Jake Scott 🎵 Have you ever looked deep into the eyes of the person you love and thought... "I can't wait to super glue the tennis balls of your walker to the nursing home floor?" Then bro. These guys are #relationshipgoals Anyone can write up the kind of love that includes mind blowing sex and pet names that makes everyone within a 100 foot radius of you mildly nauseated 🤢. It takes a special kind of author to weave romance in Saran wrap warfare and a series of elaborate (and borderline sociopathic) office pranks. And that's Mia and Noah's love language. ...And apparently mine now, too"

"3.5/5 ⭐️ I absolutely loved this book, I thought it was so cute and wholesome. The amount of love Noah has for Mia is so precious it made my heart full. This was a cute and fast read, and as much as I loved it I feel like this book very much is like Purple hearts, in the sense that this book is fake marriage trope because the female character needs health insurance to cover her illness and medications. But other than the book is cute and a fast read. I would reccomend it if you need a fast read for a day "
