Fake It Like You Mean It by Megan Murphy

4.0

---

This rom-com was exactly the best way to relax and laugh out loud several times. I read it in one sitting, because I just couldn't put it down.

I may be biased beacause it had several of my favorite troupes, but they we perfectly executed and it brings us this gem of a story. 

Elle is a successfull podcast maker, with a good life. She receives a call, warning her that her grandmother's health condition is getting worse she decides on the spot to return to her childhood home to help. There, she meet Adam, the nurse hwo is taking care of her grandmother in the most peculiar way.

Adam is a nurse, that works two jobs to help his family. He meets Elle when she arrives at her grandmother's house, and their first and several second interactions are not exactly the best ones. They have a hate but must tolerate each other, and as time goes by we start seeing suble hints that that hate may not be so true and is changing after all. 

Besides all the interaction and banter between both main characters we have a major subject aproached in this book. How to deal with an Alzheimer's patient and mainly how to react and what to do when that patient is someone you love. How you feel, how you struggle and how you grieve for the person you once knew and how to accept to watch them lose themselves bit by bit. It has this heavy topic, but even so it's still a rom-com, a romance and a very good story. 

I really loved it!
