Review: Fake It Till You Make It by Anne Harper

Synopsis

Sloane De Carlo is going to have to move to Antarctica.

As if it wasn’t bad enough that she accidentally made her private blog very public, and all her innermost secrets and embarrassing moments are trending, now the entirety of the Internet is dying to know who her all-consuming, never-get-over-him crush “Guy” really is. She’s even got a literary agent dangling a book deal in front of her nose—but there’s a catch. She’ll have to get closure with “Guy” and give her story that pitch-perfect ending.

Too bad the real “Guy” is engaged to someone else. #Blessed

The only person in her teeny hometown of Arbor Bay who knows the truth is local bartender Brady Knox. And he’s not telling...for a price. He’ll pretend to be Sloane’s “Guy” if she’ll use her newfound Internet fame to bring more business to his struggling local bar. Brady’s always been a lone wolf, but there’s something about the pint-sized, supremely awkward, yet beautiful Sloane that charms him.

But keeping secrets in a small town like Arbor Bay isn’t easy. And Brady was never meant to be the guy for a pitch-perfect ending...

Review

I loved this sweet romantic story which brings together the good old romance and the modern problem of social media. It was the cover that first attracted me to this novel. I liked the blurb but I must say that the story is much more interesting and fun than I expected. I loved all the characters and I loved the premise. I think it is a perfect romance story for a lazy summer day. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and would recommend it to all readers who like contemporary fiction and romantic comedies.

This book is perfection, it made me laugh and it made me cringe in embarrassment. Sloane is a very relatable character; an awkward woman who has a hard time lying and that's exactly what she is doing for the most part. Brady is the hot bartender who isn't over his past love and is willing to do anything just to get closure. Together, the two of them make a perfect couple. Now the question is can they fake it or are they doomed from the start? Living in a small town where everyone knows everything isn't easy for sure. It doesn't help that Sloane has become a local celebrity and nothing is private in her life anymore.
