A review by bookishandbrewsy
When Grumpy Met Sunshine by Charlotte Stein

4.0

I’m just a sucker for cinderella story, though I think Allie might be as much of the Cinderella in this story as Mabel is.

Mabel an aspiring author has been ghost writing biographies to get experience under her belt. Which makes her, in her editors opinion qualified to write for the notorious bad boy of football, Alfie. Alfie a gruff retired footballer is ready to tell his side of the story, but after a disastrous first meeting it’s unclear if they can ever get on the same page.

After accidentally being photographed together they decide instead of admitting he’s hired a ghost writer to fake date. The only logical conclusion if we are honest. The problem is, Mabel is a little on the curvier side and not in the same tax bracket as Alfie. So while social media is having a meltdown around them, they are trying to navigate their increasing attraction.

True life isn’t a romance novel as Mabel and Alfie unfortunately find out.
