Synopsis

Fake dating, enemies to lovers, and a wonderfully unique forced proximity debut romance, perfect for fans of Elena Armas’s The American Roommate Experiment and Drew Barrymore’s classic rom-com Fifty First Dates. Elle’s grandmother Lovie has always taken care of her, as long as she can remember. But remembering is just the problem. With Lovie’s Alzheimer’s progressing fast, it’s Elle’s turn to step up. Leaving Chicago behind, the last thing she expects when she walks through the door of her childhood home is Adam Wheeler—in her bed. Live-in nurse and pain in the ass, Adam is here to do his job. Eat, sleep, nurse, repeat. Thrown together to care for Lovie, tensions rise and lines are drawn, but there’s a bigger problem: in her Alzheimer’s riddled mind, Lovie’s convinced that Elle and Adam are madly in love. Certain she’ll forget by morning, Elle and Adam play along. The only snag? She doesn’t forget. Lovie is the only person who thinks this fake dating scheme is real…so why is Elle fantasizing about Adam when he’s not around? And why is it getting harder to pretend? Fake It Like You Mean It is the perfect blend of romance, laugh-out-loud comedy, and heartbreaking beautiful moments.

About Megan Murphy

When Megan Murphy is not writing (or reading) swoony, laugh-out-loud contemporary romances, she works as a business analyst. Megan’s most at home with her husband and rescue dog, Captain, or enjoying a concert or local festival. Whilst she now lives in a small Kentucky town, a two-year stint in Northern Indiana became the inspiration and setting for her debut novel, Fake It Like You Mean It.

Happy Release Day! 3,5 stars There were a lot of things in this book that worked well. Unfortunately the romance was not one of them.

I have had the absolute pleasure of getting to read this book early and I wish that I could unread it so that I could go back to the beginning and witness Elle’s journey for the first time all over again.
