The Fake Boyfriend Fiasco by Talia Hibbert
4.0

Highlights:
Aria is so confident yet vulnerable at the same time. She is both cynical about love and a hopeless romantic. The climax of this story might have been frustrating for some readers but it made sense for her character. She had a man lie to her and almost kill her best friend, so having another man lie to her again even if it was a white lie warranted her response. Nik the rich bi king!! He is socially awkward and a himbo. I loved how sure he was of his love for Aria. I loved the fake dating set up! Especially since Nik did it to get close to her. The chemistry between Aria and Nik was so intense. I didn't expect this book to be so spicy but it was insanely hot. Hibbert is great at crafting flawed yet lovable characters that fix together.

Lowlights:
I absolutely hated the narrators voice, especially when she did dialogue for Ari and some of the side characters, it was kind of over the top. I wish this book had more emotional weight like Hibberts other novels to it but it's short length served it's purpose.

Horn Level: 5/5
