3ish stars - i think this had a bit too much hype for me.
the last 150 pages were my favorite, i wish we got there faster. in my opinion, this was too 3ish stars - i think this had a bit too much hype for me.
the last 150 pages were my favorite, i wish we got there faster. in my opinion, this was too much of a slow burn and far too long. a lot of chapters could have been omitted to move it along faster.
i’m not sure what trope this was but i enjoyed the fake relationship turns into something more and the few twists along the way. their banter was cute and the plot idea was a nice change—almost wish we got more of the science and significance behind their research.
teetering between 4/4.5 stars as i take more time to digest the story! thank you to Erica and Harper for the gifted advanced copy ❤️

FAKE does what i loved most about THE BOYS CLUB—immersed me in a foreign world i knew nothing about but couldn’t get enough of. instead of big law, this time it was art and the art culture scene and all the politics within it.
FAKE is hard to stick into a genre… it’s not a thriller, but suspenseful. it’s not a drama, but dramatic. there’s lots of character development and personal growth, lies and deceit, mystery, and an interesting twist at the end ...more

a cute, quick festive read to get you in the Halloween spirit. i’ve truly never read a book this festive. if halloweentown, Hocus Pocus, the Vampire Da cute, quick festive read to get you in the Halloween spirit. i’ve truly never read a book this festive. if halloweentown, Hocus Pocus, the Vampire Diaires, etc. are your vibe, you’ll enjoy this!
the romance trope was somewhat of an enemies to lovers and i found it to be pretty steamy. the plot was kind of all over the place… felt like the author kept throwing in random twists and turns to keep it going but it felt clunky to me.
overall—quick and cute! thanks to Avon Books for the gifted copy ...more

i absolutely loved the characters and themes, however as a big bachelor fan, the stolen bachelor plot/setting really bothered me. i felt like it was a major distraction the entire story and didn’t like the feeling of a plot that’s already been done before. would have loved it more had the setting been more creative and different!...more

this is similar to Backman’s work but in my opinion, MUCH better.

i assumed what the ending would be the entire time and felt like a few things needed to be more flushed out. i wish there was a stronger second plot to make it not all about the backpacker mysteries.
