The Love Wager by Lynn Painter
4.0
funny lighthearted fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix

The fake dating and wager aspect of this book is what really hooked me and while the wager part was great, the fake dating just really fell flat! I really loved the first half of this book. The banter between Hallie & Jack was so good and watching them both failing on dates and then debriefing afterwards was so much fun! Also their text exchanges were such a good addition to the plot! But where it fell flat for me was the second half of the book when they started “fake dating” at the wedding. It was just so obvious that nothing about their relationship was fake, they were literally having sex behind closed doors constantly? Like there’s no one there to fake it for at that point 🤦🏻‍♀️ anyway, overall it was a cute story with fun characters but not a favorite!
