not your typical fake dating
I love a good fake dating, close proximity trope. One of my favorites but it can be so predictable. This was such a pleasant change. I loved the dates. It was and it wasn’t a slow burn if that makes sense.
Some serious swoon-y moments, laugh out loud ones and definitely some spice.

3.75 stars. This was a very interesting premise and I can’t figure out how I feel about the book. I really feel like I need a Luke book though, I need Luke to get an HEA.
I didn’t love the latent sexism that was coursing through Walker, but it’s entirely possible that’s a Boston male thing. I don’t know. I didn’t love how Audrey would blatantly check out other guys when she was with Walker, but again, it’s not like she and Walker were officially together but it was just a weird way to describe other characters in the scene.
I liked that there wasn’t any resolution with Walker and Audrey’s abusive parents, because sometimes in life there isn’t any resolution to those relationships. Though my god, the way I wanted to reach into my book and throttle Walker’s dad? Dang.
Overall this was an enjoyable read!

I wound up really liking the couple towards the end. The multimedia approach was a creative way to craft a tale and it didn’t get stuck in steam which was refreshing. I liked the realistic ending and giving hope for the future.

I absolutely loved the concept of this story where Walker and Audrey find themselves in a situation that not only is funny, but they find impossible to say no to. When they sign up for this assignment by romance author Victoria, they are both in for a surprise. The setup is they fake date for 60 days to compare real life people and romance couples differ/same, neither one can pass up on the money for different reasons but it’s a no brainer easy yes until things get awkward. As these two start out getting to know each other in this weird setup they seem like complete opposites where Walker is this cocky playboy who has dreams of his own and Audrey who is polite, shy, and makes everything awkward princess. The more time they spend together and the assignments that they are required to do lead them into this fake relationship where lines start to blur, but with both having deep insecurities how will they overcome those or will they? The texts, journal entries, dates, and so much more where my favorite and had me laughing, but the way both of their parents treated them broke my heart. Walker’s dad is just as awful as Audrey’s mother, I loved how Walker stood up for her to her mother, but I wanted both to finally stand up for themselves to them. This book will make you swoon, fall in love, and crave for more and I really hope Luke gets a story because he was an amazing character all his own. A great read!!!
