Publisher's Summary
What if you meet the love of your life, but he thinks you’re someone else?
Anna and Marley are best friends. So when Anna rings Marley, panicking because she has to miss a tour of an exclusive wedding venue, Marley agrees to go in her friend’s place.
After being totally ignored by the glamorous receptionist who can tell she doesn’t belong there, Marley meets handsome hotel manager Cameron. He assumes she’s Anna and instead of admitting that she’s not the blushing bride, but the unlucky-in-love single friend, Marley plays along to see what it’s like to be Anna for a day.
After all, Marley is unemployed, single, and was woken up that morning by her flatmate playing the bagpipes. Anna has a high-flying career and is planning the perfect wedding. Why wouldn’t Marley want to be her?
Only she wasn’t counting on Cameron being so smart and funny. Or this spark between them that she can’t ignore. She hasn’t felt this way about a guy in forever. But he thinks she’s somebody better.
Marley needs a way out of this mix-up to get her shot at true love. But her fictional fiancé is now standing in her way, and it’s harder than she thought to stop living someone else’s life....
A funny, uplifting, and poignant story of friendship, love, and finding your way. Fans of Mhairi McFarlane, Holly Bourne, and Bridget Jones will adore Elizabeth Neep’s wit and warmth.

Don't waste any of your precious remaining life hours
Basically, this is a snoozefest story about struggling actor Marley Bright, aka "Liar McLiarson".
There were one or two good angles in this book, but by the end of chapter 4, I was a bit over Marley's self deprecating whining and constant self-comparisons against her friends who she decided were more successful and mature than she. The premise for her pretending to be Anna also didn't sit well with me. It would've been better if, say, it was required that the bride had to attend the venue which would give a legitimate reason to pretend, rather than the actual reason she did it which was that she "wanted to pretend to be her friend, Anna, for the day". It is irritatingly juvenile and completely unnecessary... Elizabeth Neep's editor and proof readers have something to answer for. They should've fixed that furphy before the book was published.
Then, although Marley is presented with multiple opportunities to come clean, one after the other, she still doesn't fess up and the situation goes from bad to annoying.
This was my first and last Elizabeth Neep read... I called it quits after chapter 9.
