After Hate Mail completely won me over last year, I was so excited to get my hands on The Proposal Projec and it did not disappoint. This book has everything I love in a romance: tension, pining, and a slow burn that keeps you hooked from start to finish.

Priscilla and Oliver’s dynamic is chef’s kiss. The rivals to lovers energy is spot on, with plenty of banter and bickering that only makes their inevitable romance even more satisfying. I loved how Oliver was clearly obsessed with Priscilla while she remained completely oblivious and it made the tension and buildup so, so good. (Seriously, I need to know what was in that secret notebook!)

The proposal planning aspect was such a fun setup, and I adored how it showed their love for their friends while also forcing them into close proximity. And let’s not forget the tropes: fake dating, one bed, yearning MMC—everything I could possibly want! My only minor gripe is that things wrapped up really quickly toward the end, but honestly, it didn’t take away from how much I enjoyed this story.

Overall, The Proposal Project is a delightful, tension filled romance with tons of heart and just the right amount of sweetness and spice. No unnecessary third act breakup, just a truly fun and satisfying love story. Donna Marchetti has officially cemented herself as an auto buy author for me!

Thank you to NetGalley, Donna Marchetti, and One More Chapter for the eARC of this book.
