How to Fake it in Hollywood
by Ava Wilder
Grey is a rising Hollywood actress, looking for her next big break when she gets the opportunity to enter a fake relationship with former a-list star, Ethan, her childhood celebrity crush. They both need the publicity for different reasons so they agree to a 6 month relationship to get the press they need. While the chemistry between them is undeniable, Ethan is determined to keep Grey at a distance when they are not in public. As they get closer their attraction is more intense which leads them to decide if it is worth trying a real relationship.
I am so impressed with how this romance managed to be so fun while tackling grief, alcoholism, along with other heavy topics. It was a beautiful and honest story that didn’t sugar coat the tough parts of both characters’ lives. However, at the core this was a great romance (and a steamy one at that). The chemistry between Grey and Ethan was so hot and their relationship was full of passion. While the relationship was not always the healthiest, I appreciated how raw and real it was and how this book showed how challenging it can be to open yourself up and be vulnerable. Both characters had a lot of growing to do, and by the end their progress in their personal growth journeys was incredible. This book had me swooning at times, laughing at others, and tearing up at some points. It really hits you in all the feels in the best possible way. This book is an incredible debut and I can’t wait to see what Ava Wilder writes next.
Thank you to Ballantine Books and NetGalley for the advance copy.
