there’s something about south asian romances i just love. this one had the added advantage of being fake dating, which is usually at least an instant two star for me— but i was grinning from ear to ear by chapter one, so clearly this is much higher for me.

Wow I absolutely devoured this book in a day! I loved it. I don’t normally enjoy reading romances about “rich” people, but I think the spin of only one of them being wealthy, and the different culture and setting really was a breath of fresh air for me. It was unique to anything I’ve read before and really held my attention. I was rooting for the couple! I adored them. It’s spicy, it’s sweet, full of sexual tension. Lovely, fun romance!

Disfruté de cómo se desarrolló la relación; todo me pareció natural. Además, me gustó que ambos crecieron tanto personal como profesionalmente.
Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and the author for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Can’t Help Faking in Love is a cute rom com perfect for fans of the fake dating trope and all that comes with it, like intimacy practice and only one bed. I enjoyed the television quotes at the beginning of each chapter, they were all very fitting and cute. For me, this wasn’t too distinct from other fake dating stories, but it was still an enjoyable read. I particularly enjoyed the end of it and how it wrapped up in a way that was devoid of frustration and was satisfying.
