Faking Reality

A Harry Potter reference. In a 2021 release. Maybe there's more. I wouldn't know. I wanted to like this book. It just, I don't know, didn't feel real to me? The characters and plus the tv show factor?

Like it's apparently very popular but... she's not popular at school? And I know it's because she doesn't want to be, but I don't know. I kind of expected something like when Mia was revealed to be the Princess of Genovia (in The Princess Diaries) and everyone was suddenly claiming to be her friend to the cameras.

It also features the friends to lovers trope, which is not a favourite trope of mine. I rarely read and enjoy these ones. I think I really need to check to see if the trope is friends to lovers, because I rarely enjoy those.
