Book of the Month by Jennifer Probst
This is an interesting spin on a plot, fake relationship wrapped up in a breakup to be used in a story.
Brick is like the mythical creature of the OBX. The unattainable sexy <insert random profession> who can deliver unbelievable pleasure. Who doesn't want to sign up for a big helping? Only predicament is that it is built on mostly exaggerated scenarios, but it adds to his mystery. Yet he agrees to the totally insane plan because he's desperate. Only the outcome is not what he planned (of course).
If you weren't screaming at your book version of choice during parts of this book, did you enjoy it fully? Honestly, Aspen is great at giving advice and total crap at taking it. She was clearly miserable trying to recreate her past success, but stubborn and determined to proceed despite the damage she left behind.
I'll be honest I put the book down several times, it was slow at places and I never really connected with Aspen and wish Brick showed his true self to more people earlier on.
