I really enjoyed the first 75% of this book but then everything went extremely downhill so fast. 😒 This was a solid 4 ⭐️ read until the freaking end.
A senior journalism major, Ollie, is out at a bar one night when she sees her nemeses who now just so happens to be dating her ex. In order to save face in front of her rival and sleazy ex, she lied by saying she’s at the bar with her new boyfriend (who doesn’t exist). When they ask who it is, she approaches a stranger at the bar, Silas, and kisses him to sell the story. Let’s just say the sparks were flying 😋
Silas was in a relationship for 10 years when his ex cheated on him. His ex, wanting to win him back, got a job working for his hockey team. To keep her off his back, he asks Ollie to be his fake girlfriend because it’s a win win for both of them. He gets to avoid his ex, she gets to look good in front of her rival and her ex.
You can see where this story is going! We love a good fake dating trope! 👏 Ollie was a very lovable character! Smart, driven, blunt and funny. Silas obviously had some trust issues to work through, but Ollie was just the girl to help him pick up his broken pieces. Their banter, tension and pining for each other was ✨immaculate✨ (at first)
I’m so dang frustrated with how this book turned out yall!!!! This miscommunication trope was the bane of my freakin existence (and not in the good way like with Anthony and Kate)
💥💥💥S P O I L E R S💥💥💥
Ollie wrote an article on Silas’s hockey team that got edited *without her consent* to add private details about his personal life, i.e. him being cheated on. Instead of giving the girl he claimed to be so in love with a chance to even explain, he tells her to get out of his life and that she was dead to him. DEAD. TO. HIM.
When Ollie found out the article was edited, she confronted her boss. She lost her job, got kicked out of her major and lost credit for her internship, meaning she couldn’t graduate, and lost her housing *all while also losing the man she loved.* Talk about being down freaking bad dude.
Silas had absolutely zero faith in her, even knowing the kind of woman she was. He finally finds out the truth and decides he’s going to get her back. In the span of less than 10 pages, he goes and wins Ollie back and woopty woo it’s a HEA. Like come ON!! This woman lost EVERYTHING because of this man, and that’s all just forgiven and swept under the rug in so few pages??? That’s such lazy writing to me. He should’ve had to grovel HARD. Not just say oopsie baby sorry about that. UGH.
So disappointing and made me hate this one lol
