Needing a light and cute read?  Look no further.  

 

Farley is taking her comedy show on the road!  But to do so, she needs to drum up some social media buzz.  And to do that means she needs a fake boyfriend.  Meyer has been her manager and best friend for 3 years.  Their lives are already completely interwoven considering how attached Farley is to his daughter, Hazel.  Queue the fake dating trope!  

 

This was a fun read, although not quite a homerun for me.  It had a lot of things I enjoyed:

💘Friends to lovers

💘No 3rd quarter breakup

💘Hazel! Meyer’s daughter was the BEST part of this book.

💘Deaf representation

 

But there were a few things that didn’t quite jive for me.  I didn’t find the comedy all that funny.  In fact, it was my least favorite part of the book.  The actual laughter came from the everyday life scenes: a certain hairy bathing suit, a naked old man in the gym, and Hazel’s stone cold one liners.  I also found Farley to be unbearably immature in the beginning.  This seemed to work itself out as the story flowed, but it still made me wonder if the ten year age gap was really workable.  

 

Overall, this was a fun read and a great discussion with the It’s Most Likely Spicy Book Club.
