A slow burn that gets spicy fast once the characters realize what they want. 

There’s a bit of an age gap between Farley and Meyer. Their ability to communicate and reconcile after a misunderstanding was refreshing. I do wish I had laughed more at the comedy in this book, since both MCs are comedians, but all in all it was a wonderfully sexy read.

Loved how real it felt! The anxiety felt really well portrayed and how you can be on a high one minute to a low the next. Really related to Fee and her struggles and how she gets thru life with laughing. Loved the tattoo moment and the dancing in the puddles and the meet cute. Just loved the dynamic of the main characters. Then ending was adorable as well as the two epilogues. Can’t wait to read more from this author!

Foul-mouthed up-and-coming comedian Farley Jones gets her big break with one catch—she has to fake date her manager, the perpetually frowning Meyer, good friend, former star comic, and hot, older single dad, for publicity. The dating may (or may not) be fake but the mutual pining is all too real in this steamy friends-to-lovers story! I loved the stand-up show biz setting, the Deaf representation, and ALLLL the feels, funny and otherwise, this smart, sexy romance puts in the spotlight.

Overall a wholesome, quick read featuring friends-to-lovers, fake-dating, and a found family you will fall for. Representation for mental health and the stigma dealt with by comedians -particularly female comedians - in a career where all they seek to do is show others some laughter, yet they are so often met with ridicule. 

My is a well developed character and I enjoyed his journey, and the relationships with his daughter, Hazel. Hazel and Fee’s relationship is a winner from the start, though I was hoping for more growth or exploration of Fee’s story; it felt like a bit of a quick fix at the end then a skip and a hop to the epilogue.

Quotes from comedians prologuing each chapter is a wonderful touch, and foreshadows what is to come in each chapter. The first person dual POV serves this story well, and the time jumps are easy to follow.
