Review: The Bookworm's Guide to Faking It by Emma Hart








The Bookworm's Guide to Faking It The Bookworm's Guide to Faking It by Emma Hart
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I was provided an ARC of this book via the author in exchange for an honest review.

This was really fun! This follows Holley, one of the owners of Bookworm's Books in the small town of White Peak, Montana. She was once best friends with superstar pro baseball pitcher Sebastian Stone. Sebastian broke her heart on prom night and they haven't spoken in 8 years. Sebastian has suffered a major injury so he is back home to rehab and spend time with his family. He also wants to reconnect with Holley and explain what really happened that night. Holley can hold a grudge and doesn't want to let him back into her life, but when their crazy grandparents and Seb's stressed out mom get involved suddenly the whole town thinks they are dating. Unwilling to fake their relationship Holley is always willing to give Seb a hard time, but she's never gotten over him. Fortunately for her, Sebastian isn't really faking anything.

I really like this series. The bookshop girls are hilarious and I love the scenes at the nursing home with the ducks and the wacky grandparents. The banter between Holley and Sebastian is awesome. She constantly snarks at him, and he never stops pushing back and calling her on her crap. I love the dynamic between her and her friends.

If you are looking for a fun, quick, enemies to friends to lovers romance with a happy ending pick this up. This is the second book in a series, but it can be read a stand alone. I do recommend reading The Bookworm's Guide to Dating and The One Night Stand Next Door & The Girl Next Door as they will introduce the characters and explain a few things, but it isn't 100% necessary.
