This was an interesting novel about two women who decide to fake date in order to get their friends and family off their backs about being single. In this book it highlights very well how people tend to put romantic relationships above anything else. How you just "have" to be in a 'traditional' relationship to be happy. And this novel challenges that societal expectation- well sort of. I feel like this could've been a great novel for some incredible aromantic representation. One of the women, Chloe, is against dating and is perfectly happy by herself. She finds it to be ridiculous that people tend to make romantic relationships a bigger deal than friendships. But in the end it revealed she was just scared to fall in love and now she met the right girl. 

Ps. I love any audio book where Lori Prince narrates
