Simply amazing book! The main character, April, works at a center that helps victims of violence. It’s a hard job especially since she was a victim of violence in her past. She grows tired of dating apps and not being able to find the perfect mate. She decides to make a fake profile and be the woman every man wants. Will it work? Will it work too well?

April is such a strong woman. As much as she tries not to be, she is defined by her past history and can’t heal. I love her strength in her journey as the book progresses. This book may be a trigger for someone who suffered from violence. It is a very healing book. April learns not everything is how she thought and I love that.
