Livy Hart is an auto-buy author for me, she consistently delivers storylines that will grab a hold of your attention and never really let go. You'll be thinking about her books long after their finished.

I had high expectations heading into "The Great Dating Fake Off" and it was even better than I anticipated. This storyline is packed with intriguing family dynamics, tension, chemistry, friendships (found family), spice and drama -- perfectly blended into an unputdownable read!

If you're anything like me and love a 90's/early 2000's Rom-Com, I think that you are going to love this book.

Thank you Livy Hart, Net Galley and Entangled Publishing LLC for providing me with an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own.

The Great Dating Fake Off has all the right bits. The funny bits, the devastating bits, the spicy bits, the 'how on earth will they make this work?' bits.

Nora works at a bookstore. She has finally made a life for herself after a lifetime of being dragged around by her flighty mother. Sebastian moves around for a living, starting up non-profit programs for kids. They're both fake-dating their best friends in a misguided attempt to alleviate some of the stress of a huge Italian wedding where the main theme seems to be kind of Capulets vs. Montagues but with more sheep.
Nora and Sebastian will never work. How could they? So why can't they keep away from each other?

Ughhhhhh, this BOOK! Livy Hart has delivered again with the perfect recipe for a great romcom. Her writing makes me laugh and gasp and fan myself. The characters are wonderful and clever. Hart always manages to write characters I would want to be friends with but would never be cool enough.
Definitely read this book if you enjoy Emily Henry or Ali Hazelwood, and then go and read all Livy's other amazing books!

Reminiscent of Romeo and Juliet with comedy and a bit more spice. Not really a fake dating story although that is how Nora and Sebastian meet and sparks egnite.

Enjoyed every page. Nora and Sebastian's story is such a great read.

Hoping for a sequel with Benji and Livy's story.

Highly recommend!

Five stars.

Thank you NetGalley and Entangled: Amara for this incredible book.
