Fake It 'til You Make It: A laugh-out-loud, fake-dating romantic comedy from Laura Carter

4.0 (1 review)tap to rate

In an act of reimagination, she splurges her wedding savings on renting an apartment in a building she’s always dreamed of living in and kits out her wardrobe to match. But when her family invites her ex – a close family friend – plus a date(!!) to her parents’ vow renewal, Abbey realizes her façade won’t be enough. There’s nothing for it but to fake one more thing – a romance. And she knows exactly who to ask... her hot new neighbor... A laugh-out-loud fake-dating rom com, with a chemistry you’ll be thinking about long after turning the last page. Perfect for fans of The Hating Game and Elena Armas. Readers LOVE Fake It 'til You Make It! 'What a breath of fresh air this book is! A perfect, playful escape. A fun, fast read that will have you rooting for main characters Abbey and Ted' Samantha Tonge ‘A brilliant rom-com you’ll fall in love with’ Mandy Baggot
