About this listen

I’m faking a relationship with my best friend. What could possibly go wrong?

Skye is my best friend. I trust her with my life. So, when she asks me to play her boyfriend, I say, "Hell, no!" Love screws everything up. And I’m not about to lose the only person who gets me. But Skye is determined. She’s bringing a fake boyfriend to her cousin’s wedding, with or without me.

No way am I letting some other guy hold her, touch her, kiss her. It has to be me. It’s strange, smiling like I’m madly in love. But it’s easy, wrapping my arms around her curvy body. It’s easy, dragging my lips over her soft neck.

And when she kisses me? It’s easy, realizing she’s the only thing I need.

I have five weeks of faking it. Five weeks to convince my best friend our fake love is real.

Not written well enough to work as an audiobook

Not written well enough to work as an audiobook. The author clearly relies heavily on formatting to convey what is going on which doesn’t translate well at all. Without being able to indent or have quotation marks or italics, it’s often not clear who is speaking or whether something has been said out loud or not. The high instances of repeated words and information and the way conversations don’t get to the point also jump out and are very frustrating. I would recommend reading it if it interests you.

For me, the premise fell quite flat because it relies on us believing that people would expect a guy to go to the wedding of his ex and the person she cheated on him with, and that people wouldn’t understand that cousins might fall out over one of them cheating on the other’s best friend. This was just compounded by people not acting the way people do, and two protagonists who didn’t do anything to make themselves likeable.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
