5 Star book hangover!!!
I absolutely loved this story. A sweet and swoony, slow burn, fake relationship romance that kept me entertained from start to finish.

“You” – I gave a thwarted sigh – “are a terrible fake boyfriend.”

This is such a charming and at times absolutely hilarious book. I decided to listen to the audiobook and I think that was the best decision ever. Luc and Oliver are perfect together and Luc's mother is a gift that keeps on giving. ...more

Neither man has been lucky in love, but this fake relationship leads to some very real moments until they have to admit that what they share is way more than they expected. Once we got past the beginning awkwardness and misunderstandings, they really bro ...more

This book was great, I enjoyed it so much, a sweet love story with lots of humour.

This book is a delight and meant to be savored. I haven’t laughed out loud while reading in a long time and I did so multiple times during this read. I didn’t want it to send so I stretched reading it as long as possible.
