This was a pretty good read. The writing flowed well, and I liked Mason and Lauren together. I thought they had good chemistry. Mason was a good guy, even though his family was crazy. I wasn't a big fan of Lauren for most of the story. Reading their conversations got tiring after the 20th one that she had to talk around and around in circles in. It was weird. She felt like she was winning an argument or whatever, but I'm not sure any real person would have tolerated it as well as Mason did. The drama with Claudia was resolved pretty easily. I was happy to see that there wasn't some over the top craziness in that situation. The ending was sweet, and it fit well with these characters.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book.

THIS BOOK MADE ME WANNA HAVE A FAKE BOYFRIEND!! Fake relationships turned real just became another one of my tropes! These cliche plots always gets me especially when protagonists are funny. I LOVE LAUREN! I'll probably be her in a fictional world

This is probably my favorite Emma Hart book in a while, but for me this book was less about the relationship and more about the female lead. I love any book with a sharp female lead, so this quick sarcastic wit struck a cord with me. Overall I’d say the book was okay but the characters, female in particular, were where this book got its points from, and there are definitely a few quotes from this one that’ll stick with me (and my friends) for a while.

Why the frick did I read this?! I mean like I hated the last book I read by this author. I didn’t realize it until the very end of this book when they mentioned the only other Emma Hart book I’ve read. Granted this was a lot better, like it seemed to go through Grammerly and even one round of editing. Not this book was like great or anything new and there were the same things with the characters that I couldn’t stand. But it was still a little better in this book than the last. This book was subpar with below average characters.

Overall Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
“I had feelings for Mason Jackson. Very real feelings. There. The truth was out there.”
“Accidentally kissing Lauren Green? That rattled me.”
These two lines sum up Emma Hart’s newest book, The Accidental Girlfriend. This is a romantic comedy about two commitment-phobic, single-life loving, people who, much to their chagrin, fall for each other. It is funny, frustrating, and farcical. Mason and Lauren are the epitome of everything right and wrong about romance.
The story follows these two as they meet each unconventionally. Lauren is essentially dared by her friends to place an ad online to find a date. They aren’t interested in her finding a relationship, just a date. So, she does it. She places her information online with the intent to go on one date to appease her friends. Mason’s sister wants him to move past his ex-girlfriend, so she contacts Lauren and arranges for her to accompany Mason to his high school reunion as a way to push back against Mason’s ex. From their meeting, these two connect. Unfortunately, neither of them is interested in a relationship, while everyone around them is. With some further meddling, Mason and Lauren’s feelings grow, and they are left with the decision to fight their initial plans to stay single or find a future with each other.
Here’s the thing about this story. It’s a fun read. Mason and Lauren engage in verbal gymnastics throughout the entire book. Each has something smart to say to the other as they verbally spar each other, and it is a strong set-up for foreplay. They have an initial chemistry that makes the story an easy read.
The Accidental Girlfriend is the perfect beach read. There is no real angst between the two. The potential problem is easily resolved, and this book has a happily-ever-after. Mason and Lauren are lovable characters, albeit Lauren can be a tad frustrating with the stubbornness. Mason’s family members will make you laugh out loud, and Lauren’s friends are no different. This book’s qualities conspire to Make you laugh aloud. If you love a romance that makes you feel good about relationships when it ends, then you should buy this book.
“I don’t owe anyone but you anything. I don’t owe my mother, my sister, my aunt, my grandpa—I don’t owe them a single […] thing where my relationships are concerned. The only person I give a […] about is you. You are the only person I want to convince about us.”
