Overall, the book was a great, light and easy read and I can easily see myself reading more from the author! I hope there’s another book with the other character’s (you’ll know who if/when you read it )) POV as there’s so much that can be built upon and strengthened.A fun, flirty teen debut from Wattpad phenom Alex Light about a fake relationship and real love.

I loved how Becca dealt with the issue of her father and that I liked a lot more! It was exactly as it should have been and she shouldn’t have been the one to initiate at that as well.

I understand how and why it was there but I wouldn’t find myself ever excusing that so that was a no-go for me. One thing I didn’t like was the thing Brett’s father which I won’t get into. Furthermore, I adored that this wasn’t just a story about Becca and Brett’s relationship! I loved seeing Becca with her friends and healing a few rifts as well! There is definitely room for another book from a different characters POV with how this one ended. I loved that the story gave both Brett and Becca’s points of view! It’s a small thing but I hate not knowing everything behind the scenes and having to wait until it’s explained by the character later. I have been reading quite a bit of contemporary lately and I’m trying to get my hands on my more so I was absolutely pumped when I saw this was on the Harper360 YA newsletter! I was even more excited when I found this on my doorstep a while later! When the line between real and pretend begins to blur, they are forced to answer the question: is this fake romance the realest thing in either of their lives? But with Becca still picking up the pieces from when her world was blown apart years ago and Brett just barely holding his together now, they begin to realize they have more in common than they ever could have imagined. It’s the perfect solution: he gets people off his back for not dating and she can keep up the ruse.Īcting like the perfect couple isn’t easy though, especially when you barely know the other person. When he overhears Becca’s lie, Brett decides to step in and be her mystery guy. Being captain of the football team and one of the most popular guys in school, he should have no problem finding someone to date, but he’s always been more focused on his future than who to bring to prom. But when her former best friend teases her for not having a boyfriend, Becca impulsively pretends she’s been secretly seeing someone.īrett Wells has it all.

It’s been years since seventeen-year-old Becca Hart believed in true love.
