*Recieved ARC through Netgalley*

I picked this book up and it got me out of my reading slump and it was perfect pick me up. This was a charming, but honest book about two people were never supposed to be together and especially not pretending to date.

"It means sometimes the life you think you wanted isn't the one you truly need."

Characters:
Hazel Bazel: She had the perfect boyfriend, perfect grades, perfect best friend. But everything's not perfect when she finds her best friend with her boyfriend. Her world crumbles and she doesn't know she's going to do. Felix, her best friend's brother is someone who teases her relentlessly, but not someone she would ever pretend to date.

Felix the Cat: Playa of All the Players is ticked off at his sister for betraying Hazel and devises a plan that they should fake date to make her ex jealous. But soon pretending to date Hazel Basil is the realest thing he's had in a long time. And she was right in front of him.

I am a big sucker for witty comebacks and banter and it was perfect for Hazel and Felix's friendship/relationship. It was really fun to read. The pacing was perfect for the plot. It was a slow burning romance that was perfect.
