Review:

This was a cute book! I liked how the main character had anxiety. It helps me understand what I’m going through if I read other experiences. The love interest fell in love first, which was great because it is always nice seeing the women being afraid of commitment instead of the man. It was sort of a dating show mixed with a list to make your life better tropes. I liked the main chapter a lot because she was witty and funny without being overbearing. The love interest was cute and seemed to have his own problems, making a 3D story. It did seem a little too easy to get through the issues, but it was still cute. The plot was pretty good, but it was a tad bit all over the place. The cover is a little weird, but I’m sure that’s not the author's fault. I had fun reading this book, but it was definitely not my favorite romance novel.

Trigger Warnings:
Cheating and Anxiety Disorder

Synopsis From Book:

As birthdays go, this year’s for radio producer Everly Dean hit rock-bottom. Worse than the “tonsillectomy birthday.” Worse than the birthday her parents decided to split (the first time). But catching your boyfriend cheating on you with his assistant? Even clichés sting. But this is Everly’s year! She won’t let her anxiety hold her back. She’ll pitch her podcast idea to her boss. There’s just one problem. Her boss, Chris, is very cute. (Of course). Also, he's extremely distant (which means he hates her, right? Or is that the anxiety talking)? And, Stacey the DJ didn’t mute the mic during Everly’s rant about Simon the Snake (syn: Cheating Ex). That’s three problems. Suddenly, people are lining up to date her, Bachelorette-style, fans are voting (Reminder: never leave house again), and her interest in Chris might be a two-way street. It’s a lot for a woman who could gold medal in people-avoidance. She’s going to have to fake it ‘till she makes it to get through all of this. Perhaps she’ll make a list: The Ten Rules for Faking It. Because sometimes making the rules can find you happiness when you least expect it.
