This book was such a fun read. I’m a sucker for fake dating, and this one hit all the right notes without feeling over the top. Lexi is smart and relatable, and watching her deal with Damian (who is somehow both annoying and ridiculously charming) was honestly hilarious. Their banter had me grinning, and the slow-burn tension kept me hooked the whole time.

It’s got just enough drama, just enough steam, and a whole lot of heart. If you’re into college romances with enemies-to-lovers vibes and chaotic chemistry, this is definitely one to pick up.

This was such a fun book for me! An enemies to lovers with spice- my perfect book! The author did a great job of creating a character that I hated at first but then developed both characters throughout the book and made me absolutely love him. The banter was great and had me giggling. I also loved Lexi's friends and how fiercely loyal they were- it made me incredibly intrigued to read her next book that would be centered around her sassy best friend. I kind of devoured this book and was sad when it ended honestly. Also- I loved the spanish aspect of the book as well! As someone hispanic, the author did a great job really capturing how warm a Mexican family can be, especially sus abuelas! I will be posting my review on my goodreads and Amazon when I am able!

Lexi Dornan is me trying to make smart decisions and immediately failing when faced with a charming, emotionally unavailable man. The Girlfriend Agreement gave me fake dating shenanigans, forced proximity, and playboy-who-falls-HARD energy—and I devoured every chaotic page.

The banter? PERFECTION. The tension? OFF THE CHARTS. The “I’d never fall for you” vibes? Absolutely DELICIOUS. Damian Navarro is a cocky hot mess who slowly morphs into the kind of cinnamon roll you want to punch then kiss. Lexi is the brainy, sarcastic queen who’s way too smart for this but does it anyway—and we love her for it.

Yes, some parts were a little predictable, but who cares when the chemistry is this steamy and the angst is top tier? This book brought me 90s rom-com nostalgia with modern swoons

Thank you to NetGalley, Rowan Croft, and the publisher for the opportunity to read this advanced reader copy in exchange of an honest review.

I throughly enjoyed the slow burn and enemies to lovers tropes in this book. I often don’t like male main character as much as the female main character in romance books but this one was amazing!

The development of the characters was great and I genuinely enjoyed the plot and dialogue. Definitely would recommend for others to read this story!

The Girlfriend Agreement was such an enjoyable read! I really liked reading the shift from dislike to love between Lexi and Damian. Their banter made me smile, and the tension between them kept me turning pages. Damian’s character development—from being a total SHIT to someone genuinely trying to do better—was one of my favorite parts. Just like Lexi, I couldn’t help but forgive him and like him 🙂 The story had a great balance of funny, sweet, and emotional moments. A charming college romance with heart!

A cute love story. The author did a fabulous job with this story. It has a great mix of all the things I enjoy in a good romance novel. Steany, flirty, banter, emotions.

I truly enjoyed Lexi and Damian’s story. It had me cracking up at the fumbling through the fake dating. This was such a good book. I hope it gets an audio version someday I would absolutely love to hear it brought to life!

This was cute overall and gave 90s millennial vibes for sure. The plot and book overall was very well organized and planned.
