knitplanjess 's review for:

The Love Plot by Samantha Young
5.0

Star Shine Meadows is a happy-go-lucky ball of sunshine that was raised by hippie parents - naturally she doesn't like to live by the same social constructs that others do. Because of this, she has learned how to make a life for herself by having odd jobs that make her happy, but definitely not your typical careers.
Then she meets Rafe Whitman, a very well off veterinarian, who is also a total grump. He is also tired of continually hearing from his family that it's time for him to settle down.
So naturally, he offers her a job to be his fake girlfriend and break up with him - all to get his family off his back.

I LOVED The Love Plot - I loved the character development and growth as you see how they both manage their own dysfunctional families. I love the banter and the chemistry that they have with each other. I also love that Rafe never tries to change who Star is a person. He loves her for the real person that she is.

Thank you so much NetGalley, Valentine PR, and Berkley for the ARCH in exchange for my honest review!
