I loved Lauren’s sense of humor and lack of a filter. She is hilarious.
Mason is just as funny and clever.
I love the banter and chemistry that brews.
It kept me smiling and laughing. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
The secondary characters are just as funny and zany. They add great comic moments and wacky conversations and antics.
Great story!! Great characters!!

It was okay. It was sweet. She seemed interesting. She jokes around. I don't really know what to say about this book in all honesty. It was adorable but I wouldn't read it again. I think it all depends. I thought it was okay. It was simply okay. The ending was cute though.

Full of wit, sarcasm, and steamy chemistry The Accidental Girlfriend is a hilarious romcom to enjoy from beginning to end.
With a snarky, silly, and unpredictable way to meet you next mate - advertising on Craigslist, neither Lauren nor Mason were exactly looking to get into a relationship.
When Lauren was all but forced by her best friends to jump back into the dating field, Lauren wrote a sarcastic ad that she never thought would be answered. She did her due diligence by placing the ad and getting her friends off her back and by writing the ad with enough sass she figured no one would ever respond.
She was only right about one of those thoughts.
Ironically it wasn't Mason himself that answered Lauren's advertisement looking for a fake date, but Mason's sister. You see, Mason wasn't looking for a date or a relationship any more than Lauren was. He was burned by his last relationship and wasn't looking to jump into anything now or in the near future. He'd like to blame his sister, but when she points out that he could really use the fake date for his upcoming high school reunion especially since his ex is going to be there his sister has some really good points.
Backed into a corner that neither are able to get out of, Mason and Lauren go out on their fake date and end up enjoying each others company more than they ever expected. If only they were actually looking for a relationship they might actually be perfect for one another.
Can a Craigslist date really turn into something more?

Listened to the audio book and the narrators were pretty good. The fmc was just really odd at times, like admitting to talking with their mouth full of food and people just needing to accept it. I feel like she didn’t really fit the bartender stereotype so it was had to reconcile that with her actual actions.
I do think the main characters had a connection. At the end of the day it was kind of your standard fake dating to love.

Though i liked this, Lauren annoyed me at times with her constant 'i have feelings fir him but i won't do anything' but then gave signals that she wanted him. I loved Mason!!!

Emma Hart is a true gem. Her books always have quirky characters that make you laugh out loud for their ridiculous tendencies and for the string of words that leave their mouths. The same characters, who appear to be hot messes, also have these total swoon-worthy romantic moments that will make your heart melt. The Accidental Girlfriend is no different.
My biggest love of this book is the banter between Mason and Lauren. Lauren is so shameless and has such a crude sense of humor. She is rib-tickling, laugh out loud funny. While most men may run far, far away, Mason takes it all in stride and dishes it right back (I LOVE THIS). They are perfect together.
Mason's family, however, definitely attempts to steal the show. They are a bunch of LOONS. LOONS, Reader. Life with an extended family like that is never dull. Most families have one person that is straight bonkers. You know what I am talking about because you are thinking of that person right now. However, Mason's family is all NUTS. I never laughed so hard.
The Accidental Girlfriend is perfect summer beach or poolside read. It's light and fluffy and funny. Just don't have a mouthful of coffee or tea or water while reading......

This was really cute. I do love me some Emma Hart!
The Accidental Girlfriend does seem like a book that I've read or listen to before. Yet, it was still equally as cute. In it, you will meet Mason and Lauren. Now it was cute because Lauren places an ad, due to some very persistent friends, to be a 'fake girlfriend" for those in need. Of course, Mason ends up needing one - according to his sister.
It also doesn't hurt that they knew each other and basically grew up with one another. She is his little sisters best friend. His little sister ended up "seeing" the ad and stating that "he" needed a date to a reunion. I loved this sister ever since I knew what she did.
Things escalated a bit due to Mason's oh so lovely sister because she started telling the family that they were actually dating. Overall, this book made me smile and laugh throughout the entire thing. They were cute and had obvious chemistry - glad it all worked out in the end.

The Accidental Girlfriend is a slow burn, fake relationship rom com with a quirky heroine and plenty of fun banter. There’s not a lot to set it apart from other fake relationship stories, but it’s still a fun read.
The best thing about this book is Aunt Pru. The next best thing is that the characters actually act like adults and talk to each other when shit hits the fan. So for everyone who keeps yelling at characters just to communicate, this book is for you.
This was a fast, fun beach (or pool!) read! It was my first book by Emma Hart and I’ll definitely plan to read more now.
