The Dating Plan by Sara Desai
3.0
adventurous funny medium-paced

This book was a typical rom-com for me, I really liked the love interest of this story! I didn't realize this was the second in an interconnected standalones set, so I think I would have had more context to the family relationships had I read that first. 

It's a fun, fluffy rom-com that throws two people into a fake dating scenario. Daisy is a self-described Marvel nerd that loves coding, whereas Liam is a troubled, motorcycle riding venture capitalist. Daisy holds a grudge against him for abandoning her at prom 10 years ago when he promised to be her date. Due to unforeseen circumstances, they have to keep up a fake dating/marriage scheme. 

The reason this is 3 stars for me was because I couldn't stand that the grudge and why Daisy hates Liam so much was because he abandoned her on prom. I understand I would be a bit upset about it, but she HATES him 10 years later, and holds it against him for such a long time. Also, I understand she is super nerdy and into Marvel, but it gets a bit too cringey for me. Marvel bras where they discuss what superhero is on her underwear?? Just not my thing unfortunately.
