The Fake Out by Sharon M. Peterson
3.5
funny lighthearted

This is a fun romcom that definitely made me laugh. I enjoyed the grumpy x sunshine where the woman was the grump. It made a nice change. Also, Chris was just adorable. There are also so many great supporting characters that add some more entertainment.

I did find the time jumped around a bit. Some chapters with not much happening seemed to drag and then others told us that an event was happening and then skip to after. I wanted to see more of Mae and Chris together because the love felt a bit sudden and I didn’t feel any sizzling chemistry. 

However, I did love that the 3rd act drama wasn’t drawn out and was dealt with in a pretty mature way. Also a huge fan of a plus size main character which wasn’t a main plot point. 

This is a cute closed door romance with a lot of laughs along the way. Each chapter also starts with a cheesy pick up line which was a great touch. 

I received a copy of the ebook via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review
