Mini Review:::

Sadly, this book just wasn't for me. The writing felt choppy and the plot happened far too fast, but at the same time it FELT slow. I just couldn't relate to the characters and their relationship didn't feel genuine. 

It does follow the trope of fake dating pretty well, which might interest many readers! But for me, I couldn't invest which broke the experience.

Full review on Goodreads to come!

I liked and disliked the book. Overall, it was really good but some scenes bugged me a lot. For example, how the author explains Jason's break up with his girlfriend hit a nerve with me. It was all out in the open over a phone call to a relative.  It felt like the author was trying to force the dialogue so the audience would understand Jay didn't give second chances and that he used to be a player but wasn't anymore.  I can't reiterate how much it buged me.  Again, this scene just felt so forced.  It might have been better if the reader continued to think he was a player and gradually learn to trust him as Tatum learns to trust him.

I did think the two together as a couple were really cute. Tatum has a cute clumsy air about her and Jason is typical alpha.  However, they don't really even get together until roughly half way through the book. And when I say get together, they don't really date. They are  sort of friends. Their relationship builds very slowly and honestly it's awkward in some places. Cute but awkward.

I wouldnt read it again but I did enjoy the book while I was reading it.

Thank you Netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Unfortunately I wasn't too fond of this novel. The
Tatum and Jason's connection was lukewarm at best and their interactions was immature. She just gets dumbed by her fiance who she desperately wants back but as soon as she meets Jason it's all forgotten. Then she's kind of cold to him but has to pretend she likes him because she lied to her friends that he was her boyfriend. The writing had no depth and I felt it describes a high school relationship rather than an adult one.

Great book!!! I really enjoyed reading this book! I figured eh it'll be alright like all the others lately well not at all!! I really loved it! This is Tatum and Jason book, I simply loved Tatum quirkyness! Lol her character was really funny and quirky and clumsy lol Tatum is a studying to be a chef and ends up working with her ex and his new girlfriend! Jason is her best friends cousin and a reformed playboy!!  Her best friend doesn't want them together and a bunch of really funny things happen and they get together in secret! Like I said this was a really funny and great story line! Definitely don't miss out on this one! Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!
