I have a new comfort book, and definitely one of my favorites.

As always, watch for possible spoilers if I've mentioned one.

A few months ago, Willa Callister was engaged, had a good job and her best best friend by her side. Now, Willa works as children's entertainer for her sister. She lost her job, her ex-fiancé and her best friend. Now she is not Willa the famous blogger and influencer. She's Princess Sparkleheart and carries a golden chair -her throne- to every single party of spoiled kids she attends.

One monday while Willa is at a coffee shop, a total random stranger approaches Willa and begs her to pretend to be her old friend; she's even willing to pay Willa for lying for her. A couple days later, Maisie, the stranger, asks Willa if she could be her bridesmaid at her wedding; Maisie's gonna pay Willa 5k for the job.

I liked this book a lot. No, wait, not liked, but loved it. It was funny, emotional, heartwarming and I wanted to kick the shit out of Willa sometimes.

I related a lot with Willa, but with the part of wanting to run away and start from zero, and being a writer with no inspiration and staring at the screen without actually write. Of course, not with find out my best friend and my fiancé in the bed. Instead of running, I would've exposed of them. Assholes.

I found Willa's sarcasm and dark humor like something very me. Her character is likeable to a certain point, in some chapters, I wanted to kick her so bad. She cares a lot about her nieces and her family.

Maisie was very very interesting. Her secrets kept me caught the entire book until the end -finally-. She's very enthusiastic, supportive and caring. Finn also was okay. Lorene, Rose were *chef kiss*

Sarah and Max can burn in a hole. If I was Willa, I would have told them to fuck off and never talk to her, or even try to, again. Tho Willa was brave, she needs some hate, lmao.

liAM FUCKING RAFFERTY, I LOVE YOU. That's it. That's the tweet.

The pacing was fast to me, the romance was fine? bUT I FUCKING HATE THE FADE-TO-BLACK THING. NOOOOOO, GIVE ME MY SMUT, I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS.

Anyways, I loved the fact that the author focused more on Willa's healing, the journey of finding a true friend, connecting with her family, trust again and fall in love once more.

iluvinicorns's review against another edition

DID NOT FINISH

Writing was long winded and did not progress the story. A lot of loose ends and no closure. Ended up skipping ahead a lot just to get main plot points.
