This is the second book of Hale's 'Truly' trilogy.
This time we're following Sam's sister Lexie and her roommate, Robyn.
In order to keep her mother quite, firefighter Robyn pretends to date artist Lexie. But will this charade become something real?
This was a quick, enjoyable read. I noticed a marked improvement in Hale's writing from her previous book to this one. I liked how this gave us demisexual representation, something rarely seen in romance novels.
Looking forward to the final book in the trilogy.

Nurse McKenzie Bonham is pregnant with twins and is facing a custody battle. In desperation she turns to her estranged wife, Dr Saana Ameri for help. Kenzie proposes that they pretend their marriage is as strong as ever. But can they resist each other while putting on this show?
This is a cute, easy to read, lighthearted but moving story. My main issue is that I felt we didn't get to know the characters well enough and it all wrapped up to quickly.
