“He asked me, as a friend, to have dinner with him tonight. It’s not a date, and I am the most loyal fake girlfriend you will ever have. I fake love you, Shane. I want to fake marry you and have your fake babies. Okay?” I glare at her. “Uncalled for. I can’t believe you brought our fake children into this.”

Diana cannot stand Shane, he's slept his way through her cheer team and is overall a very handsome, but cocky pain in her butt. When he moves into the condo across the hall from her, she thinks the only way they can coexist is to set some ground rules, mostly just that he needs to leave her and her team alone. Shane is over rebounding with meaningless hookups and misses being in a relationship. When his ex shows up he decides to fake being in a relationship with his sassy neighbor across the hall.

I love Elle Kennedy's books and this one is up there with Dean and Allie for me. Yes, Dean and Allie are the best Briar couple, I will die on this hill. I'm also a huge fan of the fake dating trope, I don't know what it is, but I find it hilarious in all the best ways. With that said, this one also caught me in my emotions and I spent a decent amount of time sobbing my face off as well. Whenever a book can take me from laughing to sobbing and do it well, it usually means the author has caught on to how to manipulate my emotions, and while that might not sound like a good thing, I think it makes for a dang good time.
