Livy has done it again! This is such a fun romcom with great twists on the fake dating trope. Imagine it: two rival Italian families meet for a wedding. The bride is known for nagging her brother to get hitched, so he and his best friend, Nora D'Amato, decide to fake date. The sister of the groom isn't ready to come out to her family, so she and her best friend, Sebastian Rossi, decide to fake date. Except, uhoh, sparks fly between Sebastian and Nora. Now they have to maintain the pretense that they are dating people they couldn't be less interested in to save their friends.

I laughed. I gasped. I got emotional. It was steamy and sweet and funny in turn. This is a must-read!

Thank you for the publisher for the advanced copy.
