Really really cute. I loved the slow burn between Lottie and James. Definitely one I’d recommend, and I will be adding the rest of the series to my tbr.

Matt is just a gross human being for many reasons
I think Lotte’s hesitancy towards allowing herself to feel something real for James surrounds her newly learned dislike of Matt’s true character and the harsh reality she has to face after being in love with him for three years.

This book was really cute. First, I loved that it was set in London! I also really enjoyed all the little oddities of Lottie's job. It was definitely unique.
The back and forth between James and Lottie was so good. I loved that they were almost instant friends.
This would have been a 5-star read but I feel like we missed a lot of character development because we didn't get to see James's POV. That would have added an entire layer of depth to the fun and banter.
Overall though, I really enjoyed it and look forward to reading the rest of the series!

I loved hearing about how Lottie would drag her friends to different places around London in the previous books and it made me anxious to read her book and see her personality up close. I love her quirkiness and passion for things that her friends and others wouldn’t look twice at. It made me sad and I kept waiting for her to see her own self worth. James is a delight. Their banter shows you just how compatible they are from the beginning. You just need to wait for them to catch up.

First of all, let me say that Matt is a total tool! Now that we've gotten that out of the way, I really enjoyed this book. Kate O'Keefe is one of my favorite authors for rom com books and the It's Complicated series has been so much fun and just all around enjoyable so far. I do believe this one is my favorite so far because I do love the fake relationship trope so much. And I absolutely loved James. I was internally just yelling at Lottie to give up on Matt and focus on James! Matt is a tool! Also, there's been a dog featured in each story which I adore. These can all be read as standalones but they're all so good that I'd recommend the whole series.

So cute, I love a fake dating/engaged book.
Lottie is head over heels in like with her coworker Matt who won't give her the time of day. She's also being bugged by her mother always over her lack of relationships.
James is a Deputy Mayor who is seen as a playboy but feels it hurts his image for his wanting to be Mayor one day.
They meet in unusual circumstances and enter into an agreement to be fake engaged for 6 months. He feels he can help her get the guy she wants.
I love these two. Although Lottie is a bit short sighted when it comes to Matt (I was so happy and shouted for joy when she realizes what a douchebag he is) she is fun. James is such a gentleman! My favorite part was when their mums meet... They are instantly friends and take to embarrassing the two "lovebirds".
Of course in the end, you know where it goes if you read these types of books often, but it didn't make me smile and sigh any less!
