Rating (1-5): 4.2
Thank you to Netgalley, Entangled Publishing, and Anne Harper for an ARC of Fake It Till You Make It in exchange for an honest review. I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
I am rating this book 4.2 out of 5 stars. I rate different categories that are important to me personally in a book, and the take an average of the scores to get my overall rating. I don’t share this rubric, because everyone has their own preferences, and should rate books according to what they like, not what I like. This was such a light hearted rom-com, and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it! Laugh out loud funny while still having that romantic, touching side. The first chapter really drew me in, basically because it was everyone’s worst nightmare coming true for the protagonist, Sloane. She had kept a private blog online her whole life that served as her journal, but one drunken evening changed the settings from private to public. And it went viral. Talk about extremely relatable embarrassment. Sometimes I rip out and burn my own journal entries because I embarrass myself. I can’t imagine the whole world reading them ? The writing and the story quality were great, and the book flowed nicely. Were some things predictable? Sure, but all rom-coms are and we all still love them. Sloane and Brady, the main characters, had great development throughout the book, and I really enjoyed their respective personalities. This was a ‘fake relationship’ romance, which means the characters are pretending to be in a relationship for their own personal motives. Which in turn helps the book have a comedic side. I would say that the only thing about the book I didn’t like, was when the romance side got a little rated R for two scenes. It just came out of nowhere and I felt like it didn’t fit in with the rest of the book. So if books getting steamy isn’t your thing, I would just caution you that this book has a tinsy bit of it. However, you could easily just skip the two pages it spans over. Excited to see what the rest of the series brings!
Happy Reading!
