The Fiancée Farce was a cute, cheesy romcom that I absolutely blasted through! Tansy and Gemma are so cute, and I loved reading their story.
I’d never read a marriage of convenience book before, and while this wasn’t exactly what I was expecting I was pleasantly surprised! The communication was AMAZING and so healthy and what everyone should strive toward. They were so open with each other and so willing to be vulnerable, and I appreciated that a lot.
I will say that everything felt a little bit more exaggerated than my usual preference. Obviously most romcoms are cheesy, but this one felt particularly far fetched. Did that stop me from enjoying it? Absolutely not! This book was so fun, and I have zero regrets.
I will definitely be reading more of Alexandria Bellefleur’s books. 4 stars.

Tansy and Gemma are both delightfully flawed, perfectly human, and so funny. Their love built from the first moment they saw each other until the very last page and was just so beautiful. The friends and allies were loveable and quippy without being over the top and the villains were perfect to root against. This is definitely on my list of Sapphic rom coms to suggest to anyone looking to get into the subgenre and I can't wait to read the rest of Bellefleur's books!
