A review by lassarina
Act Like It by Lucy Parker

5.0

I absolutely adored this book. My taste for contemporaries is extremely hit or miss, but this one hit all the perfect notes. There was snark. There was some serious sexual tension going on. There was the right amount of misunderstanding vs communication. (The plot at no point hinged on people not talking to each other, THANK GOD.) The origin of the final conflict felt really organic and natural and "oh god I know EXACTLY how you did that" wince-inducing sympathetic--and the resolution felt meaningful and difficult and right. I'm a sucker for fake relationship trope played well, and this book did it super well.

Also, Richard is hot, goodness gracious.
