karrakoren 's review for:

That Kind of Guy by Stephanie Archer
4.0

I loved this book! I had just read a rather badly written novel and needed a "palette cleanser", so i hopped on over to KU for this one. There were a lot of things i loved about it and, warning, this review contains some light spoilers.


I think the biggest thing that I liked was that, at the end, it didn't have to come out that they weren't a real couple the whole time? I always hated that part of books similar to this one because it always felt so unnecessary. Like why did you have to tell everyone you were lying? Especially now that you are a legit couple? But this book didn't do that! FMC did end up telling her BFF but, honestly, same.
I liked that the progression of the relationship didn't feel rushed even though we know it only took place over a couple of months.

Something i wasnt a fan of was the fact that she wasnt more concerned with how quickly he went from "fake dating", to "fake engaged", to "fake wedding". Your contract was for fake dating like...you could have stopped him there and the deal would have still went through. Even fake engaged i could understand but a whole ass fake wedding?? That seems a LITTLE too far to take things, just so one guy could win a small town mayoral election.

But hey, who am i.
