A Marie Claire Book Club Pick! Even with a step-by-step plan, these fake fiancés might accidentally fall for each other in this hilarious, heartfelt romantic comedy from the author of The Marriage Game. Daisy Patel is a software engineer who understands lists and logic better than bosses and boyfriends. With her life all planned out, and no interest in love, the one thing she can't give her family is the marriage they expect. Left with few options, she asks her childhood crush to be her decoy fiancé. Liam Murphy is a venture capitalist with something to prove. When he learns that his inheritance is contingent on being married, he realizes his best friend's little sister has the perfect solution to his problem. A marriage of convenience will get Daisy's matchmaking relatives off her back and fulfill the terms of his late grandfather's will. If only he hadn’t broken her tender teenage heart nine years ago… Sparks fly when Daisy and Liam go on a series of dates to legitimize their fake relationship. Too late, they realize that very little is convenient about their arrangement. History and chemistry aren't about to follow the rules of this engagement.

I really enjoyed this book. daisy is such a fun character and I love the family aspect of Sara's books. She does a great job showing the importance of family but also being your own person.
As many other have noted, Daisy is annoyingly quirky. Also, the author really needed to rethink the age gap given their past. ( 4 year ago gap is fine with adults. duh. Him being “aware” of her when she turned 16 is uhhh....real special. There were some moments I enjoyed (yay, swords!) and prose was an easy read. That being said, this is one HEA I don't need to revisit.
A light reading, and a pleasant one at that. It's laugh-out-loud funny, sexy, cute, and wholesome. The characters are mostly likable, even down to the nosy and gossippy aunties. The female main is Marvel devout. The male main loves Indian food. What's not to like, eh?
