A light read with an emotional punch, call it 3.5 stars
Emma travels for work as a way to deal with her unresolved childhood (& ongoing) trauma - not that she realizes that. Justin has a so-ugly-hes-cute dog and is about to have a whole lot of new responsibilities thrust upon him. They both have a curse - everyone they date meets the love of their life AFTER breaking up with Emma/Justin. The only way to break the curse? Date each other, breakup, meet soul mate.
In a surprise to no one (reader or in-book characters) the fake dating quickly turns into more and our leads have to juggle their growing feelings, new responsibilities, and disappointing moms.
Nothing earth shattering, but a cute read that really did manage to hit me in the mommy issues more than it sold me on the love story, but I kind of liked it for that.
