Fake It by Lily Seabrooke

5.0

Lily Seabrooke has not only crafted a wonderful story, but has crafted such a story with a strong, compassionate, intelligent, and all-around wonderful trans main character. Avery might just be one of my favorite main characters of all time. Here's why: 1. She saw the world around her filled with amazing possibilities. 2. She was brave by not only transitioning into the person she was born to be but was brave enough to step out of her comfort zone and open up a luxury restaurant in her favorite city. 3. She was able to be vulnerable on many occasions throughout the book. 4. She saw the good in people despite their flaws (except Mike Wallace and her nasty ex). 5. She was able to make all of her dreams manifest. 6. She overcame obstacles but didn't let them stop her from being persistent. 7.
She was hot!
The dialogue in this book sets it apart from so many others in this genre. While some authors tend to write stale or boring dialogue, Lily Seabrooke wrote this dialogue in a witty and charming manner. Sometimes it was like watching a tennis match between Avery and Holly as they would volley sass back and forth to one another. This book was just a delight to read. There wasn't any unnecessary drama and angst. Just a great story of two women meeting, then working with one another for a common goal, and falling in love along the way.
