General Description: Kiki is in a critical year for school - she has the opportunity for a prestigious internship, but her mentor says she must elevate her radio show, Brown Sugar, to prove how she can diversify her platforms further. Her mentor suggests working with new student: Malakai. Malakai is causing a ruckus among the women at Kiki's school and is the last person Kiki wants to work with. When they develop a scheme to fake date each other for the benefit of their projects, will they be able to get out of it smoothly, or will emotions get in the way?
All the goodies:
- The characters are magnificently written.
- The scene with school politics was fresh and interesting.
- How the relationship develops is done in a unique way while using familiar tropes.
- The audiobook narrator helped make this book. Her emotions related to each character made the reading so much more enjoyable.
- The pacing kept you interested the entire time and how everything came together at the end had me cheering in the grocery store.
Overall: If you like new adult romance, read this. You will NOT regret it!
