Stephanie Archer is an auto-buy author for me and The Fake Out is another in a long line of knockouts from her! The Fake Out is an opposites attract, grumpy/sunshine, fake dating story, all of which are my favorite tropes. Rory is the epitome of golden retriever boyfriends and I loved how much Hazel had to try to stifle her laughter around him. I need my own Rory! He was so sweet and all in to help Hazel get on her ex's nerves. I loved that Hazel is a total badass and Rory knows it and loves it about her. The way the two of them protected each other was really great.
The best part is
no third act break up!!
. That's really what made it 5 stars for me.
