A guy will do anything to win the girl he loves.

I don’t think anyone knows how to act around you. People get scared of shiny, pretty things.

“I don’t know any friends that kiss,” I mutter. “Or sleep together.”

A shiver ripples through me, and from the corner of my eyes, I catch Adrian smile to himself.

So low that the heavily defined V shape of his lower abs is on display.

“I don’t hate you, Verena. Far from it,"

Time is running out, and it hurts to think about.

The beginning was just sad, depressing and embarrassing. I couldn’t handle it. And to think they end up together in the end. I don’t get it. Thumbs all the way down.

I love fake dating. Add in childhood best friends who have, for the last seven years, hated each other and haven't spoken to each other since high school and I'm hooked. 

Famous celebrity designer Verena Valentine hasn't spoken to Adrian Hunter in seven years, and she's done everything possible to avoid her former childhood best friend who she's always nursed a secret love for. She can't avoid him forever now that their sisters are getting married to each other. Newly single due to a cheating scandal, Adrian is the last person she wants to see. But turns out, he's newly single too and is trying to win his ex back by making her jealous. He asks Verena to help him out by fake dating him. This could be the best thing ever or the worst.

I really liked this book! There were times I sniffled, times I groaned with second hand embarrassment, times I cheered and times I laughed out loud.
