Fake It ’till You Make It by Laura Carter

Fake It ‘Till You Make It by Laura Carter is a delightful, laugh-out-loud romantic comedy that delivers on charm, humor, and fresh starts. Abbey and Ted’s fake dating arrangement is full of hilarious mishaps, sharp banter, and undeniable sparks. But what makes this story stand out is how both characters are hiding parts of who they really are. Watching them peel back those layers and figure things out as they go was both heartwarming and relatable.

The characters are fun and dynamic, though I felt some of their emotional growth was rushed toward the end. The story’s lighthearted tone and witty dialogue kept me hooked, even with a few predictable moments. It strikes a great balance between humor, romance, and just the right amount of heat. 🔥

If you’re looking for a feel-good rom-com with fake-dating antics, lovable characters, and a touch of emotional depth, this one’s a must-read!

Blurb:

Can a fake date fix everything? On a day Abbey thought would be the best of her life – her boyfriend is surely going to propose tonight, right? – it all falls he tells her he’s met someone else. And then to make things worse, she loses her job.

In an act of reimagination, she splurges her wedding savings on renting an apartment in a building she’s always dreamed of living in and kits out her wardrobe to match.

But when her family invites her ex – a close family friend – plus a date(!!) to her parents’ vow renewal, Abbey realizes her façade won’t be enough. There’s nothing for it but to fake one more thing – a romance. And she knows exactly who to ask… her hot new neighbor…

A laugh-out-loud fake-dating rom com, with a chemistry you’ll be thinking about long after turning the last page. Perfect for fans of The Hating Game and Elena Armas

XOXO, Courtney
