Cannot recommend this audiobook more!! 
I already loved this book and the audiobook is superb!! 

Narrator Dahlia Summers was perfect for bringing this book to life. She mastered Rach's sunshine and Pres's practicality, and all of the side characters were just as I had imagined them to be (looking at you, Snide Ethan). 

This is one of my most favorite fake dating books, Amanda Gambill has the perfect balance of sunshine and grumpy, weird little anecdotes, and steam to make you believe in Rach and Pres and root so hard for them. 

Thank you, NetGalley, Dreamscape Media, and Amanda Gambill for an audiobook ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I went into Honestly I'm Totally Faking It by Amanda Gambill not knowing what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised! I loved Rach and her knack for getting into hilarious trouble—Boob Gate had me laughing out loud. While I initially had qualms about Pres’s bad habit, it made sense as the story developed, and Rach and Pres ended up being exactly what each other needed. The third-act breakup felt so plausible and added depth to the story, making it all the more engaging. The audiobook narrator was fantastic, adding just the right amount of emotion and comedy to bring the story to life—I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Thank you to the author, NetGalley, and Dreamscape Media for providing an ALC in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you so much Netgallery for the ALC ARC of Honestly, I'm Totally Faking it! 

WHAT A TREAT this was! An Underrated Gem, a true romantic comedy with funny, steamy and heartwarming moments! I adored the whole thing, the way the main characters were just MEANT to be together, their banter, how well they complemented each other, their chemistry and how their whole relationship developed. Rach was a very relatable FMC. She was a people pleaser to the core, and while yes, naive, so intelligent and kind. I loved seeing her get out of her shell and try so hard to become someone different than what others would've expect her to become given her past. It wasn't easy for her to move from her past, but she tired and did a great job at it. Press..OH PRESS!!!! THE MAN YOU ARE! A grump with a heart of gold, honest and such a sweet nerd that had my heart melting! He was just PERFECT! 

I LOVED the book and I wish more people give it a chance! It's a great one!
