Such a cute and funny romcom. I loved the characters from the beginning. I liked the attraction between Nora and Sebastian. You could sense how hard it was for them to stay apart….which of course leads to funny scenes during a wedding week that is already tense due to the couple being from two families that have been feuding forever. 

Thanks to Entangled Publishing for a copy of The Great Dating Fake Off in exchange of an honest review.

Omg this book was adorable the romance the spice and the plot were all incredible I loved each couple and ended up loving all the family by the end. I believe everyone should aspire to have this in their lives. Dream fulfilment love (not just romantic) and an incredible family

DNF at 35%. Didn't like the quite macho MMC, and didn't like the writing / narrating either. The story didn't keep me aboard to figure out how it was going to happen. A little too Hallmark movie for me I guess.

Livy has done it again! This is such a fun romcom with great twists on the fake dating trope. Imagine it: two rival Italian families meet for a wedding. The bride is known for nagging her brother to get hitched, so he and his best friend, Nora D'Amato, decide to fake date. The sister of the groom isn't ready to come out to her family, so she and her best friend, Sebastian Rossi, decide to fake date. Except, uhoh, sparks fly between Sebastian and Nora. Now they have to maintain the pretense that they are dating people they couldn't be less interested in to save their friends.

I laughed. I gasped. I got emotional. It was steamy and sweet and funny in turn. This is a must-read!

Thank you for the publisher for the advanced copy.

Wow, I was expecting to love this story as much as I did. Love the FMC and the MMC. Some of your favorite tropes with the perfect love story.
