Faking It by Beth Reekles
4.0
"Faking It" by Beth Reekles is a charming and heartfelt contemporary romance that navigates the complexities of modern dating and the pressures of societal expectations. It is so well written, I found it hard to put it down!
Sophie, a perpetual singleton surrounded by friends settling down, finds herself in a bind when she fabricates a boyfriend to save face at her sister's wedding. Enter Harry, the handsome and charismatic accomplice in her ruse, whose own motivations add an intriguing layer to their fake relationship.
Reekles crafts a relatable and engaging story filled with humor, genuine emotion, and palpable chemistry between Sophie and Harry. Their journey from reluctant partners to genuine friends is portrayed with sensitivity, exploring themes of self-discovery and the blurred lines between fiction and reality. The characters are well-developed, each grappling with personal insecurities and past disappointments that add depth to their interactions.
While the premise is familiar, Reekles injects freshness through a twisty ending, witty dialogue, and authentic portrayals of familial and romantic dynamics. "Faking It" is a delightful read that reminds us that sometimes the best relationships are the ones we least expect.
