What I expected on Saturday morning: Books.
What I got on Saturday morning: my ex-best friend and first crush in front of me.
Let it be known that I, Holley Stuart, do not give a single rat’s behind about pro baseball’s star pitcher Sebastian Stone.
I definitely don’t care that he’s standing in my bookstore.
Nor do I care that he seems to have forgotten about the last time we saw each other—senior prom, when he both humiliated me and broke my heart, albeit unknowingly.
Now, he needs a date to his sister’s wedding.
Don’t ask me how I ended up being it, because I have no idea. But that’s the least of my problems.
His grandfather is adamant we’re dating, and Seb isn’t in a hurry to convince him otherwise, so I have no choice but to go along with it.
The problem? The only thing I’ve ever faked is… well, you know.
I’ve definitely never faked my feelings for someone.
And judging by the way I feel whenever Seb looks at me, it doesn’t look like I’m starting now
This was one of the perils of being a bookworm: inappropriate feelings toward inanimate objects. And characters that didn’t exist in real life.
ARC REVIEW ➞
The Bookworm’s Guide to Faking It is such a fun read.
I absolutely love Holley. She is a fun, quirky, loveable, and adorable bookworm who just so happens to own a bookstore with her two best friends. Sebastian is a professional baseball player, but is back in his hometown to recover from an injury. Him and Holley have a history. They were best friends and both had secret crushes on each other, until one little mistake on prom night changed everything.
There is some great chemistry between Holley and Sebastian. I loved the banter between them, too. Holley is still hurt about what happened years ago, however, she isn’t about to admit it to Sebastian. She really wants nothing to do with him, however, she ends up being his date to his sister’s wedding and the fake relationship comes into play.
I loved that their story wasn’t the typical fake relationship romance. There were some fun little differences throughout the story that kept it interesting. Though, I was completely rooting for Holley and Seb the entire time.
The Bookworm’s Guide to Faking It is full of chemistry, second chances, romance, plenty of laughs, a great group of friends, the best retirement crew, some ducks with punny names and plenty of fun. If you’re looking for a feel good romance that will have you laughing this one is a MUST READ!
