I actually really enjoyed this! It's the classic "forced to substitute for her sister to marry the ["undesirable" trait] guy" but this time BOTH leads are substitutes. I was a little worried the ML would have no reason to be a substitute, but it seems like the author put in some amount of thought as to why he would be in such a place. The fact that he knows she's a substitute, but is also waiting for her to bring it up and the guilt that she feels lying to him also make for an interesting dynamic. I really enjoyed the FL's character - you really understand WHY she doesn't just ask her husband for help which stops her for being irritating. All in all, I hope this gets picked as it's probably one of the better trial reads.
