The main characters are so multilayered that they feel like real people, and the secondary characters are so unique and well-conceived that you'll want them to have their own stories. The MC screws everything up time and time again, and puts his foot in his mouth so many times it might as well be permanently lodged there. It's sort of a meandering series of events in the MC's life where nothing seems to go quite right. It's funny, because plot-wise, nothing much happens in the story.

I know it sounds cliche, but I laughed, I cried, and I would do it all over again. I really couldn't stop reading, and I stayed up nearly all night to finish. The emotions that I felt for these characters snuck up on me, and before I knew it, I was hooked. This book is hilarious, especially if you like kind of snarky, British humor, and I found myself laughing out loud to myself in bed, shoulders positively shaking (my husband did not appreciate this).īut that's how this book gets you. I've had mixed experiences with Alexis Hall in the past, and I honestly didn't know he could be so funny. Then they can go their separate ways and pretend it never happened.īut the thing about fake-dating is that it can feel a lot like real-dating. So they strike a deal to be publicity-friendly (fake) boyfriends until the dust has settled. Unfortunately apart from being gay, single, and really, really in need of a date for a big event, Luc and Oliver have nothing in common. In other words: perfect boyfriend material. He's a barrister, an ethical vegetarian, and he's never inspired a moment of scandal in his life. To clean up his image, Luc has to find a nice, normal relationship.and Oliver Blackwood is as nice and normal as they come. Now that his dad's making a comeback, Luc's back in the public eye, and one compromising photo is enough to ruin everything. His rock star parents split when he was young, and the father he's never met spent the next twenty years cruising in and out of rehab. Luc O'Donnell is tangentially-and reluctantly-famous.
