✍🏽Bookish Thoughts
This was such a fun second chance, fake dating romance! Super cute and lighthearted! I loved both Gemma and Mason. Was it a little silly and cheesy? Yes. Did I eat it up? Also yes. I listened to this in one sitting! 

Gemma and Mason were friends in high school but had a falling out. Years later, Gemma writes a book with an MMC totally inspired by Mason… not that she intended for anyone to find out. Naturally this goes viral and ends with a fake dating scheme! Which then turns into Gemma giving Mason reformation lessons for being a bit of a jerk. Honestly though, he wasn’t a total jerk.... just kind of clueless, which made him more lovable. 

The audiobook was AMAZING! Duet narration is my favorite, and this one delivered. More duet audiobooks, please.
