This was my introduction to Davina Stone and the wonderful Book Sirens - a site where Indie Authors can publicise their work, while readers can find some hidden gems.

The Alice Equation for me was THAT hidden gem. A friends to lovers with fake dating trope was EXACTLY I needed to get me out of a funk while my baby underwent neutering surgery!

Alice lives a predictable life - she works at her mum’s bookshop (gotta love a heroine who loves books!), loved bingeing on romance novels and is secretly in love with her best friend, the commitment phobe Aaron.

Aaron lives partying and relationships that aren’t deeper than skin level aka one night stands and superficial dates. But when he wants to land a job at his dream law firm,- job interview where he tells one little fib to confirm his job - that he has a serious girlfriend with whom he is committed to bring forth a future that involves a house, two kids and a white picket fence!

Aaron knows that Alice won’t hesitate in helping him - after all she is his best friend. And she would also be the safest bet; they both know each other well enough to actually get the wrong idea.

their banter, their feelings for each other had me feeling all snuggly - but it was how they came together that had me quite charmed!

I do, however wish, that the author hadn’t taken the “Hollywood route” of giving Alice the makeover for Aaron to actually notice her more than his friend. She deserved to be seen for the real her. But that’s just a teeny tiny part of the book - and The Alice Equation still has made me look forward to the author’s upcoming books in this series!
