Alexandria Bellefleur is becoming a go-to author for cutesy, swoony reads. Add that to all the Swiftie references and I just could not stop smiling while reading this one.
The troupe - fake dating/relationship. We all know how this goes - couple fakes relationship because one or both of them needs to appear in love. Of course by the end of the book, our MC's realize their love is real but it's the journey to get there that makes this one great.
Tansy, a girl who just wants to be left alone and run her bookstore, is tired of her families constant questioning on her love life. So she creates a fake relationship with a book cover model named Gemma - who, in true comic fashion, turns out to be real. And Gemma also needs a fake partner in order to inherit her grandfathers company. Enter the fake relationship.
Now right off the bat there's attraction. But of course both hide it from the other, because how could they expect this to be real? But as they spend more and more time together, the lines start to get blurred. They really start to bring out the best in each other and it didn't take long for me to root for them. While I guessed the twist/reveal at the end, I still really enjoyed watching these two fall for each other.
And is it just me, or does the brunette on the cover look a lot like Alexandra Daddario?
