The Kiss Countdown by Etta Easton
4.25
inspiring lighthearted medium-paced

Great fake dating book with amazing Black characters, one is an astronaut for NASA (yay for STEM rep!)

Amerie and Vincent meet in a coffee shop and since she spilled coffee on him, it doesn't go well. Then they meet there again, but this time her ex is there with a new woman on his arm and she grabs Vincent and says he's her man. So the fake dating and fun begins!

I thought Vincent was so sweet to let Amerie move in with him to keep this facade up and to help her with tough things she's going through (rent hikes so high she can no longer afford her place because she also got fired). I hated that they fired her, she gave so much to that company. But I'm glad it got her to open her own business.

This is a sweet romance so no spice but it's still swoony anyway
