Thanks NetGalley for this ARC.
I really enjoyed Hate Mail so I was excited to read this book next! I love a fake dating story & enemies to lovers. It was predictable (clear that Tina knew they were faking it, the bench, etc) but I still really enjoyed it and was hooked the whole time. I flew through it! There was a good amount of spice, & not at all cringy as I sometimes feel when writers use certain words, unrealistic scenes, etc. I would definitely recommend this book.

This is an ARC review. I want to thank Donna Marchetti and HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter for allowing me the chance to read this book ahead of release day! any book that starts off with a playlist immediate catches my attention! Did I immediately go and create the Spotify playlist to listen to it while reading? Yes, yes I did! And thankfully another win of playlist books not letting me down!

Priscilla and Oliver started out as friends who turned into banter buddies and back into friends before it quickly slid into lovers. The spice on this book was medium but the tension was at an all time high. The amount of times I yelled for them to just kiss it out was at an all time high! They truly have the cutest love story. While creating the perfect proposal for their best friends they find their own love along the way. There was absolutely way too many miscommunications between these two but it really did make their story very unique. I enjoyed this laugh out loud cute rom-com with a splash of spice.

I thought this book was so cute!! I’m kinda starting to love Donna Marchetti because she always has such original stories and this was no exception🫶🏼 i loved the characters and their dynamics so much, it’s definitely worth the read! And also, it’s fast paced and not very long which i loved!🩷

This lovely book is coming out november 11! So excited to get my hands on it when it comes out, because let’s be honest the cover is soooo cute🤭

Thank you so much @netgalley and @donnamarchettiauthor for this amazing arc!🧡

thanks to the author, publisher and netgalley for the copy 💕

this book was so good that it managed to get me back into kindle reading!! the whole idea of the plot was so cute and executed perfectly and had me smiling as well as on the edge of my seat in anticipation for what would happen next. I may be a little swayed since fake dating is one of my favourite tropes ever but Priscilla and Oliver are perfect and I absolutely love them and their relationship from how it started and how it developed through the book

I thoroughly enjoyed this second book by Donna Marchetti, a gorgeous slow burn enemies to fake dating to lovers. I love the tension between the two main characters whilst they plan the proposal of their best friends. Hooked on their relationship just felt the getting together chapter was a little rushed and the ending could have been not so abrupt. Definitely a go to author for me now though!

Thanks Net Galley for the ARC!

This book was to predictable for me ! Best friend plans proposal to her bf and the bfs best friend helps . Forced proximity , enemy’s to lovers

It's official, no one does enemies to lovers like Donna Marchetti 🥵
Whilst I found myself frustrated at the miscommunication/constant self doubt from Priscilla, I knew exactly what I was getting with this book and loved every second. I adored seeing her and Oliver's relationship develop throughout as they planned the wedding proposal, and Oliver was just a dreamy book boyfriend.
Also a shout out to Tina and Ryan - what a brilliant couple and even more brilliant friends, this dynamic of the four of them double dating really added another layer to the story for me!

ARC REVIEW:

3.75 rounded up; this was a really sweet story - loved the characters and the banter back and forth between the two MCs. I was slightly annoyed with the FMC’s “obsessive” insecurity aspect but overall it worked out. Oliver was an absolute gem.

Every once in a while a book comes along that gives you a genuine physical reaction to it that both makes me want to stop reading and makes it impossible to put the book down, this is the one.
The miscommunication trope, while maybe annoying to seem, felt very realistic internally (and by that I mean, I am also a mess who also makes assumptions and doesn't talk about her assumptions).
This is my first ARC in a while and it was exactly the breather I needed after a string of pretty dark or heavy books. A delightful, fun little romp!
10/10

I really enjoyed this book! I was looking for a book that was light and easy, with good writing. So often are rom coms written badly, with cringe and corny moments, but The Proposal Project was accessible and well written, and the perfect light read. I fell in love with Oliver and Priscilla, and I will definitely look out for more Donna Marchetti books.

Thanks NetGalley for this eArc.

⭐️3.7 🌶️2.0

✨Thank you to NetGalley and Donna’s team for this ARC✨

The BANTER?! The SLOW BURN?! *chefs kiss*

This was the perfect pick-me-up that I didn’t know I needed. I loved the fake dating and believed every bit of it. I honestly wish it was dual POV, just so I can see into Oliver’s mind.

I wish the book ended with some closure regarding her parents, but I’m so so happy with the epilogue. Will definitely recommend this book to my friends!

Priscilla has just been fired from an event planning company, so when her best friend Tina offers to pay her to plan the proposal, Priscilla accepts and decides to start her own company. Unbeknownst to her at the time, Tina’s boyfriend Ryan is also planning a proposal with the help of his best friend Oliver. Priscilla has been at odds with Oliver practically since they met. Though she had an initial attraction to him, he quickly turned her off with a rude comment in front of all their friends. Now, the two decide to team up to plan the extravagant proposal involving white horses, a flash mob, and skywriting, among other things. When they’re caught together, they decide to pretend they’re dating rather than spill the beans to Ryan and Tina about each other’s plans to propose. Naturally, through fake dating and forced proximity, the two end up falling for each other.

The Proposal Project is the perfect easy read escape when you need it. I absolutely blew through this book. Not only did I not want to put it down because of the chemistry between Priscilla and Oliver, but I also felt like it just read super quickly. I was sad with how quickly I was getting through the book, but that didn’t stop me from continuing. As I previously stated, the chemistry between the main characters is amazing, and watching their initial standoffishness melt away into a true friendship and then romance was enticing and fun. This book is steamy, lighthearted, and completely ridiculous at times (the proposal is truly absurd in its over-the-top-ness), and I had so much fun reading it.

Thank you to NetGalley and Harper Collin’s UK/One More Chapter for the ARC!

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for providing this ARC. All opinions are my own.
In order to keep their best friends' proposal a secret, Priscilla and Oliver agree to pretend they're dating. The Proposal Project is a sweet, light-hearted read, but personally, I found the miscommunications a bit frustrating as they felt unnatural. Additionally, I didn't connect with Priscilla's behavior, which came across as overly childish for my taste.

Thank you, HarperCollins UK, One More Chapter, and NetGalley, for providing me with this advance reader’s copy in exchange for an honest review.

“The Proposal Project” is an enemies-to-lovers romantic comedy that will have you swooning and laughing throughout. From the very beginning, you’ll find yourself rooting for Oliver and Priscilla. The quirky characters and over-the-top proposal planning perfectly complement the story.

A massive thank you to NetGalley and Donna Marchetti for allowing me the absolute pleasure of reading this book, and early!

To begin with - this book came at the perfect time for me, it made me feel so good, I laughed and smiled so much throughout this book!
It was well paced, I wasn’t bored at any point, I just wanted to keep reading, and I’m a little sad that it’s over.

The banter between Priscilla and Oliver is absolutely hilarious and adorable, but also so real! Oliver is such a sweetheart 🥹
I did get a little annoyed at moments over the miscommunication but it makes it feel so much more real!! Even the banter between Priscilla and her best friend, Tina is so good!

And just the right amount of spice! ✨

The way they both came together to plan the proposal of both of their best friends was so funny, and magical!

I’ve never been a big romance reader, but I think this book has paved the way for me!

I LOVED this book. The plot was so fun, the chemistry and development of the relationship between the main characters was perfect. The friendship between Tina and Priscilla was also so great, they truly are both the epitome of girls supporting girls. This was a such a sweet book that had me literally giggling the whole way through. My favourite romance of the year so far!

I really enjoyed Hate Mail, so I was excited to see that Dona Marchetti had another book coming out soon. This one would make the perfect rom-com—it was light and silly, but that never took away from the heart of the romance. The story felt organic, and I thoroughly enjoyed following all the shenanigans the main characters got into on their way to a happily ever after. I’d recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun, feel-good read.

I enjoyed HATE MAIL so had high hopes for this one, but unfortunately it just fell a little flat for me.

Priscilla Cain, the ultimate event planner, has everything under control — until she’s tasked with planning her best friend’s dream proposal. The catch? Her best friend’s fiancé might be about to propose on his own. So, Priscilla teams up with Ryan’s best friend, Oliver — obnoxious, gorgeous, and completely off-limits — to pull off a joint proposal. But keeping their secret alliance from their friends may be harder than they think. And as they work together, sparks fly. They might just find their own happily-ever-after.

Love this book! An enemies to lovers story full of characters that you root for, a fun plot, and a lot of spice!
