This book is a heartfelt, banter filled rollercoaster about two beautifully broken men, George and Alex, who crash into each other (emotionally and hilariously) at an airport, only to find out later that they’re both headed to the same wedding. Cue the awkward family matchmaking and a week of fake dating chaos at a campground.
George and Alex are both carrying scars from their pasts, trauma, insecurity, and that deep fear of never being enough or too much. But instead of running, they lean into each other and start trying to heal. Together. What follows is a whirlwind of vulnerability, wit, unexpected warmth, and just the right amount of spice. 🖤
The writing is sharp and emotionally rich, with side characters that are genuinely supportive and fun. The banter? On point. The emotional moments? Gut punching in the best way. My only (tiny) complaint is that the story felt a tad long in places, but honestly, I didn’t mind lingering in this world a little longer.
If you love fake dating, found family, emotional healing arcs, and characters who love big, this one’s for you.
