I received an eARC from the publisher via NetGalley. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I met Ellie at a MN bookstagrammer event earlier this year and was so excited to read this one— it did NOT disappoint!!!
Alison Mullally arrives at her ex boyfriend Sam’s funeral, only to find out he never told anyone he dumped her. In order to help the grieving family and friends, Alison plays the part— it’s only for a day after all. Only, Alison agrees to pack up Sam’s apartment with Sam’s grumpy best friend, Adam. Over the course of four weekends the two grow closer and Alison isn’t sure how much longer she can continue to pretend…
This book was a great mix of humor, fun, and seriousness. Alison had a double mastectomy after finding out she has the BRCA1 mutation. After finding out that she “cheated” death, she vowed to live her life more adventurously… only Alison doesn’t really like camping or hiking or anything outdoors really. She started dating Sam in the hopes his enthusiasm for adventure would rub off on her. Sam soon realized she was faking and dumped her.
Read if you like:
• Grumpy/sunshine
• Minnesota
• Guy falls first
• Fake (does it count if he’s dead?) dating
• Forced proximity
• Trivia
