Crazy, Stupid, Fauxmance by Shellee Roberts
4.0
A fake relationship! And with soooo much adorableness, I can't even :)
Poor Mariely and Cabot--both of them had their (less-than anyway, so it was really for the best) relationship ended in a very public way and with tons of drama (**jazz hands!). This is of course not fun at any time, but it's particularly unfortunate when you're in high school. A small, close-knit high school makes things even worse... But don't worry, there's a fake relationship on deck to make it all better!
I liked that both Mariely and Cabot kept feeling drawn to try and "rescue" the other one throughout the book--it was just so sweet. Even when they barely knew each other, they wanted to make things better for the other one--obviously, the writing was already on the wall for these two! Watching as their interest turned to "like" turned to maybe something else made me not want to put the book down until I'd reached the last page.
Crazy, Stupid, Fauxmance would work well as a standalone if you haven't had a chance to read the other two in the series yet ([b:Ten Things Sloane Hates About Tru|26101040|Ten Things Sloane Hates About Tru (Creative HeArts, #1; Sloane and Tru #1)|Tera Lynn Childs|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1439823868s/26101040.jpg|46044274] and [b:How Willa Got Her Groove Back|28871512|How Willa Got Her Groove Back (Creative HeArts, #2; Willa and Finn #1)|Emily McKay|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1454431585s/28871512.jpg|46520770]) since each book deals with a different couple. If you have read the others, since Mariely's Willa's best friend, you'll get an extra bit of Willa and Finn time in this one (yay!) and there's a brief Tru and Sloane sighting as well.
I can't wait for the next book in the series--it's just so much fun!
