I am addicted to fake relationship these books are insta click for me , coming to this the start was so good no insta lust no insta love , clever sassy banter between the h & H . He has a relationship with OW I was expecting more with these premises and the sassy h .
Then drama comes a lot of drama too much drama qnd I confess I skipped and skimmed
So it’s like at school this has potential but you could have done better because you have the right skills
Next?
3 stars for the stellar reaction she has to the ugly figure he does and the tentative to repair go girl

Firstly, thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read a copy of The Breakup Plan by Elle Vaughn in exchange for an honest review.

The Breakup Plan follows Penny and Elliot, as they take their relationship from boss/intern to many different levels. Elliot is a business mogel who has just become popular with the media, and Penny is a determined woman doing whatever she can to get custody of her younger brother, having grown up in a difficult situation and family.

I am so conflicted about this book. I liked the idea of the story, but I didn't enjoy the execution. There was a great deal of excessive swearing, an uncomfortable about of moaning/groaning and quite a few conflicting sentences (eg. Beth isn't the relationship type, but then all of a sudden is eager for a relationship post-divorce). I was initially put off by the main character Elliot and his approach to women (to the point where I wasn't sure I wanted to continue), but that did improve as the book progressed. Another negative for me was the focus on affairs and sleeping with married women.

Elliot seems to have more moodswings than a teenage girl, but he and Penny make an excellent team. Penny is a strong protagonist and I think Ellen Vaughn has done a fantastic job writing about the complexities of Penny's home life.

I love a good enemies to lovers book, and this book delivered. With that being said, it felt as though it was left unfinished and I wasn't particularly enthused with the ending. I assume the ending was in preparation for another book, however it was so unsatisfying that I was left wondering whether my copy was missing a couple of pages.

Overall an alright book.
