The Fake Out

Thank you to Net Galley and the publisher for this arc. This a hilarious romantic comedy, it's full of interesting and hilarious characters. I loved her best friend Ali, we all need a friend like her. I thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Thank you to Bookouture for providing me with an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

“I've heard the way he talks about you. And now, I've seen the way he looks at you.” “How does he look at me?” “Like you're his favorite thing in the whole world,”

this! book! oh! my! god!
i thoroughly enjoyed this book. like A LOT.

one thing that immediately grabbed my attention was that at the beginning of every chapter, there is a pick-up line. You'll understand the significance once you read the book (and you HAVE to read it), but I was flying through chapters just curious to see what the next pick-up line would be.
and CHRIS :) he was absolutely the cutest golden retriever mmc I've seen recently. i loved him so much.
The dynamic between the two main characters was also, UGH, totally swoon-worthy.

i also really liked Mae. her comebacks are top tier and she was just a very relatable character.

“I didn't have one favorite book and I didn't trust people who did.”

Imagine grumpy-sunshine, but he's the sunshine. Imagine a marriage of convenience, but an engagement of convenience. If you love these tropes, then definitely pick this book up!
