Could it be I'm falling in love?
When Nicole is put on a suggested vacation due to an incident between her and a spoiled resident, she thinks the hard work she put into becoming a doctor and obtaining a prestigious fellowship has gone down the drain.
Ben wanted to enjoy a week with his friends before they went to Kenya for medical missions. But when he finds out his ex-fiancee has invited herself, he needs a way to keep her from trying to rekindle a flame that has long burnt out. So, he enlights the help of his friend Nik to play his girlfriend. Unfortunately, the only people their act was fooling were them.
This is the second book in "The Girl's Trip" series, and we follow Nik as she lies to herself about her feelings for Ben. I'm glad she got a kick in her butt from her mom and friends because she needed to let some things go and live her life for the present, not the past. Ben is such a good guy, and I love that he was willing to dance with the devil who wore Prada, also known as his mother, for the woman he loved to achieve her lifelong dream. I love how Tracey's characters have real-life issues to which the reader can relate. Fingers crossed that we get a book from the remaining two friends.
