“Many thanks to St. Martin’s Griffin and NetGalley for the ARC of this book!
This book is sweet! Lexi is struggling, she’s working two jobs while taking classes for her degree, takes care of her mother since her dad passed away and the debts he left, and their house isn’t doing so well either. She at her second job waitressing when a few girls from high school show up and she’s completely embarrassed. Will, another customer there, pretends to be her boyfriend, and she pretends to be there as a customer with him. Somehow, it becomes an announcement that they are engaged, and they don’t correct anyone so that they can date. But they are very different. Lexi is Lexi, and Will is from a widely successful family. Lexi is scared and they are both falling, quickly.
I’m not a huge fan of fast love, but in this book, it really works. With Will and Lexi, you can feel the instant chemistry. She’s funny and witty; they have some really funny banter. It’s not too much, and there could be a bit more, but what is there is enjoyable.
Sullivan’s writing flows easily and is easy to read. It reads quickly, and there’s bit of mixed media within the text in the form of text messages. The supporting characters in this book are fun and truly supporting of Will and Lexi as their friends individually, their family, and them together as a couple.
Rom-com readers will really enjoy this book!
This will be out on 9/17 – check it out here.
