I fell in love with Mazey Edding’s books when I read “Lizzie Blake” and “The Plus One” did not let me down.

Indira lost her home because her boyfriend decided to cheat on her. So she moves in with her brother at the same time that her brother’s lifelong friend, Jude, is visiting for 6 weeks to help with his best friend’s wedding.

Jude suffers from PTSD while Indira is working through some dad abandonment issues. They start fake dating for show but soon learn their true feelings for each other, while also helping each other heal from their past. Jude & Indira’s relationship is filled with some heartwrenching real & raw emotions that is navigated and written so well.

This was a hard book to read - definitely some trigger and content warnings - but it was such a good book that I would sell my soul to be able to experience for the first time. 

Thank you to NetGalley and St Martin’s Press for the ARC in exchanged for my honest and unbiased review.
