Review:

When I first read it, this was a cute book, and it is still a cute book! I really like the main character and the depth of both of their traumas. I like how you learn things about yourself and feel a connection that is not always felt in books. It’s also really cool that I know many of the characters and their backgrounds because I read her first book. Some parts are not my favorite, and I wouldn’t necessarily call it an enemy to lovers, but the story makes up for it. I also am very interested in where the author takes the series next because there are many directions it could go. My favorite kinds of books are the ones that I feel like I came out of it having learned something new; this one was a great example of that. When the author manages to emerge you so deeply into a story that you feel like you have lived their life, that is when you know you picked a great book. Great book!

Synopsis From Book:

Daisy Patel is a software engineer who understands lists and logic better than bosses and boyfriends. With her life all planned out, and no interest in love, the one thing she can't give her family is the marriage they expect. Left with few options, she asks her childhood crush to be her decoy fiance. Liam Murphy is a venture capitalist with something to prove. When he learns that his inheritance is contingent on being married, he realizes his best friend's little sister has the perfect solution to his problem. A marriage of convenience will get Daisy's matchmaking relatives off her back and fulfill the terms of his late grandfather's will. If only he hadn't broken her tender teenage heart nine years ago... Sparks fly when Daisy and Liam go on a series of dates to legitimize their fake relationship. Too late, they realize that very little is convenient about their arrangement. History and chemistry aren't about to follow the rules of this engagement.
