“Happiness can’t be planned like your retirement fund, Claire. You put your heart on the line and hope for the best.”
✨ fake relationship
✨ sunshine x grumpy
✨ slowburn
Trigger warnings: gore flashback of a car accident, PTSD, OCD
Did not expect this to be so good oh my god???? Even though I kind of expected the climax would be more dramatic, but I am not complaining for this one. I love their banters and chemistry and this might just be my favourite sapphic book!

I wanted an easy rom com as a reading break and I got exactly that. Cute, fluffy, mostly very manufactured plot and drama, the usual. Underwhelming maybe, but it did it’s job.

Great dialogue (when they were talking)...felt a little like being told a story not very much showing. Lots of no communication between MCs, little chemistry imo, and repeatedly being told Lana isn't a size 2, yep got it after the 2nd time. Not my fav but still a good story.

I really enjoyed this book. I love the fake to real trope and Jae did an excellent job at making this happen in this book.
Claire is a workaholic who did not put time into her previous relationship which caused her ex-fianace to break up with her.
Lana is a struggling actress with a dislike toward relationship therapists due to her mom's obsession with following their advice/reading their books.
When Lana is is offered a job as a pretend fiance for Claire she takes it. The disasterly chaos that is their relationship is amazing to watch as they grow from people putting on act to actually growing feelings.
There are some steamy scenes in the book that display their passion to each other excellently. So I would highly recommend this for a read.
