Another fun and cute romance story! I loved the Patel family and Liam
3.5
The beginning was slow and started out repetitive. The middle was great, lots of fun with plenty of enjoyable character development. Just some odd dialogue that felt unnatural and situations that weren’t always believable. Fun fluff.

The Dating Plan is the follow-up to last year’s The Marriage Game. This is Daisy’s story, Layla’s quirky super smart cousin. After reading and enjoying The Marriage Game and finding out that this book would feature the fake dating/engagement trope I couldn’t help but ask for a copy for review.
I liked this book. I liked Daisy and her fun personality and loving nature. She works for a start-up company writing code and is surrounded by a great group of secondary characters. She is paired with her brother’s BFF, her childhood crush Liam, who broke her heart when he bailed on their prom date and then stayed away for ten years. He shows up at the exact wrong time and inserts himself into a touchy situation. Daisy lets him know really quickly that he is the very last person she ever wants to see again.
Only he shows back up with a proposition… become his fiancee and then stay married to him for a year. This will help him save his inheritance and she will get her family, who keeps throwing eligible men her way, off her back for good. He will also help by lending a hand to the struggling start-up she works for.
I wasn’t sure if I would like Liam at first, he was a bit of an ass. (I HATED his brother so much). But he and Daisy did have chemistry and a whole history that helped me see them as a couple. Each chapter starts with some fun back and forth texts and I started to look forward to each new date and seeing how they would play out. The ending was nicely done and a great wrap-up to this love story.
My only gripe is that EVERYONE seemed to know that their relationship started out as fake. I wanted fake shenanigans! All in all, The Dating Plan was a quick, easy, enjoyable read and I am looking forward to reading more books in this world.
Final grade- B

I really wanted to like this book but it just didn’t do it for me. It’s a cute story and I really don’t have anything negative to say about it but it was a little boring. I don’t think I’d ever reread it but I would recommend it if you are interested in it.
Liam is super adorable and I love him.

3.5 stars*** This was super cute. I found Daisy incredibly annoying and just not believable sometimes but other than that, I really enjoyed this one! First book of the year :)

I loved the characters in this book. Quirky and real and a love story that was 10 years in the making.
A cute fake dating trope!!! Loved the history and chemistry between Daisy and Liam
