Review:
My rating has gone down upon reread, but only because I tend to first-read romance books with rose colored glasses.
Act Like It is an extremely enjoyable contemporary romance. In it, we follow Elaine 'Lanie' Graham, a sweet, popular actress on the West End and her coworker, the stiff, grumpy Richard Troy. When Troy is wrapped up in another PR scandal, Lanie is bribed to fake date him.
This is a great audiobook read. I love that every chapter starts with a media article, statement or tweet about the romance. All of the characters are very likeable, though I felt that Lanie needed to grovel more at the end.
