Book Summary:

Hallie Piper is turning over a new leaf. After belly-crawling out of a hotel room (hello, rock bottom), she decides it’s time to become a full-on adult. 

She gets a new apartment, a new haircut, and a new wardrobe, but when she logs into the dating app that she has determined will find her new love, she sees none other than Jack, the guy whose room she’d snuck out of.

Through the app, and after the joint agreement that they are absolutely not interested in each other, Jack and Hallie become partners in their respective searches for The One. They text each other about their dates, often scheduling them at the same restaurant so that if things don’t go well, the two of them can get tacos afterward.

Spoiler: they get a lot of tacos together. 

Discouraged by the lack of prospects, Jack and Hallie make a wager to see who can find true love first, but when they agree to be fake dates for a weekend wedding, all bets are off. 

As they pretend to be a couple, lines become blurred and they each struggle to remember why the other was a bad idea to begin with.

(Summary from Goodreads)

“It couldn’t have been anyone but you.”

Review/Thoughts:

This book was adorable! (little did I know this book was start a full on Lynn Painter addiction).

Jack and Hallie were a cute couple from the start. The dialog was full of funny banter and flirting. I loved watching them become friends before starting a relationship. The friendship and chemistry between the couple felt easy and genuine. I also really enjoyed the dual POV.

This has to be one of the most charming romantic comedies I’ve read. The book had me grinning and giggling throughout, making for a super enjoyable read.
