Fake It Till You Make It by Anne Harper
Goodreads Summary:
Sloane De Carlo is going to have to move to Antarctica.
As if it wasn’t bad enough that she accidentally made her private blog very public, and all her innermost secrets and embarrassing moments are trending, now the entirety of the Internet is dying to know who her all-consuming, never-get-over-him crush “Guy” really is. She’s even got a literary agent dangling a book deal in front of her nose—but there’s a catch. She’ll have to get closure with “Guy” and give her story that pitch-perfect ending.
Too bad the real “Guy” is engaged to someone else. #Blessed
The only person in her teeny hometown of Arbor Bay who knows the truth is local bartender Brady Knox. And he’s not telling…for a price. He’ll pretend to be Sloane’s “Guy” if she’ll use her newfound Internet fame to bring more business to his struggling local bar. Brady’s always been a lone wolf, but there’s something about the pint-sized, supremely awkward, yet beautiful Sloane that charms him.
But keeping secrets in a small town like Arbor Bay isn’t easy. And Brady was never meant to be the guy for a pitch-perfect ending…
My Review:
This is Anne Harper’s first book, an adorable romance book with a fake dating trope, and I loved every second of it. I think the book itself is much more exciting than the synopsis makes it sound. I kept journals all through middle school, high school, and college similar to the way Sloane wrote on her private blog. While nothing I wrote in it really affects my life today in any way, I would be mortified if it was posted on the internet, so I can understand her embarrassment over this.
I loved Brady and how sweet he was. I loved the two of them together and how quickly their relationship turned real. I also loved Sloane’s brother Callum and how supportive and protective he was of her. I also really liked how much of her parents’ relationship was incorporated into the book.
5 stars
