My Big Fat Fake Marriage by Charlotte Stein is a fun and a little bit silly romance novel about an American book editor and a want-to-be English writer who happens to live down the hall from one another.
Beck is a big man and an even bigger nerd; from being teased and bullied his whole life, he still very much sees the good in people and wants to be kind and courteous to everyone. Connie, on the other hand, has a distrust in people who are nice since no one has ever truly been nice and meant it. While I had a good time reading, I found myself being uninterested in the characters and storyline. I usually eat a fake dating slow-burn romance up, but this one just didn't hit. How both of them just refused to communicate effectively. Like I said, I had a good time, but this isn't a book I am reaching for again. I think it definitely could be someone's cup of tea more than mine.
Tropes:
📖 Fake marriage
🔥 Slow-burn tension
💖 Inexperienced but secretly confident MMC
✍️ A bookish setting
🛌 Only One Bed
