Fake Out by Eden Finley

zaza_bdp's review against another edition

3.0

Bien que j'aime plutôt bien le trope du fake boyfriend, je dois dire que je n'ai pas trop accroché à ce livre d'Eden Finley. Certes c'est drôle, les héros sont mignons et charmants, mais tout cela va trop vite pour moi, je préfère quand la tension s'installe doucement, que la température monte, et que l'un des deux mecs perd les pédales avant de finalement céder à la tentation. Or ici, tout va trop vite à mon goût. Ok les situations sont souvent assez cocasses et Maddox est un joyeux luron encre bien ado dans sa tête, mais bon ... Et puis à la longue, j'ai trouvé Stacy super lourde, son coup final était le pompon ! En revanche, le tome suivant me fait plus envie, car les personnages secondaires ont l'air d'avoir plus de relief ...

En fait je ressors déçue de cette lecture car non seulement je me suis ennuyée, mais en plus je ne me suis pas du tout attachée aux personnages et leur histoire m'a laissée complètement froide, ce qui n'est jamais bon signe; n'est-ce pas ?

Great character development on both protagonists but the third act was unnecessary drama. Especially since they're both adults and behaved like children. Overall nice quick read

Really enjoyed this book. It was a very original and interesting plot. Loved the forced proximity trope, their chemistry was amazing. My favorite character was Maddox, I loved to see how he matured throughout the book.

I had to deduct a star due to Damon’s sister, Stacy. I’m assuming she was supposed to be this hilarious and quirky character. She was actually extremely unlikable and obnoxious. She took things way too far to the point that she pretty much acted like a bad sister and friend.

Also the third act conflict was a bit silly but I appreciate that it was not dragged out and was resolved relatively quickly.

Overall, it was a very fun and heartwarming read. Damon and Maddox were great together. Would definitely recommend and cannot wait to continue the series.

I thought the book was pretty good. It was witty and cute. The 3rd act conflict was unnecessary though. It felt like it was added just to extend the length of the book
