Foul-mouthed up-and-coming comedian Farley Jones gets her big break with one catch—she has to fake date her manager, the perpetually frowning Meyer, good friend, former star comic, and hot, older single dad, for publicity. The dating may (or may not) be fake but the mutual pining is all too real in this steamy friends-to-lovers story! I loved the stand-up show biz setting, the Deaf representation, and ALLLL the feels, funny and otherwise, this smart, sexy romance puts in the spotlight.

I did not expect a book about two stand up comedians to be so heart wrenching or lovely, but this book managed it. Pace wise it did drag a little, and there were a few times I was confused about whether we were in the past or present and had to go check, but overall lovely. I loved Farley in particular and wish I could hear her tight five.

Not really a climax in this book and the fake dating thing fades away pretty quickly into the book. But it's very good and has good spice lol
