Act Like It by Lucy Parker

4.0

Very charming fake-dating romance. Richard and Lainie are costars in a West End play and are strong-armed/cajoled/bribed into fake dating in order to raise the profile of their show. Parker does a really good job of treading the line of "guy with a reputation for being a jerk, but is not at heart an asshole." I genuinely liked both Richard and Lainie and I loved how the inevitable "great misunderstanding" was handled. Both reacted believably and like adults, hallelujah!!
