It was like, if love couldn’t exist in reality, at least it was alive in fiction. Between the pages it was safe. The heartbreak was contained. There was no aftermath, no shock waves.

“I’ll have you know I’ve read all the Harry Potters.”

“That doesn’t count. Everyone’s read Harry Potter. It’s practically a childhood rite of passage.”

Allyssa Fritz

"I knew a lot about love  I knew there were two kinds: 1) real love and 2) fictional love."

"I can't believe I have a crush on a girl with such horrible ice cream taste."

"Words aren't like that. They build an entire world around you. It's not something you look at, it's something you're inside. That makes it a lot scarier."

"Because you go somewhere else when you're reading. I want to go there with you."

 I wondered if a day would come when he'd abandon that child too. I really hoped it didn't. I hoped he'd choose to stick around so that little baby would never go through what I did. I hoped they’d never have to hide in a bush and watch their father love his new family the way he couldn’t love his old one

I had gotten into the habit of ending every day with the same question: Was it worth remembering or forgetting?

The book itself is cute. But I don’t think it’s giving me the butterflies I wanted!!!

Adorable, heart warming…. Involves books….

Alex Light

A fun, flirty teen debut from Wattpad phenom Alex Light about a fake relationship and real love. It’s been years since seventeen-year-old Becca Hart believed in true love. But when her former best friend teases her for not having had a boyfriend, Becca impulsively pretends she’s been secretly seeing someone. Brett Wells has it all. As captain of the football team and one of the most popular guys in his school, he should have no problem finding someone to date, but he’s always been more focused on his future than who to bring to prom. When he overhears Becca’s lie, Brett decides to step in and be the mystery guy. It’s the perfect solution: he gets people off his back for not having a meaningful relationship and she can keep up the ruse that she’s got a boyfriend. Acting like the perfect couple isn’t easy, though, especially when you barely know the other person. But with Becca still picking up the pieces from when her world was blown apart years ago and Brett just barely holding his together now, they begin to realize they have more in common than they ever could have imagined. When the line between what is pretend and what is real begins to blur, they're forced to answer the question: Is this fake romance the realest thing in either of their lives?

2.5 stars — i enjoyed the beginning of this book and i'm a huge fan of the fake-dating trope but overall i just couldn't connect with this book as a whole. something felt off the entire way through and i couldn't pinpoint it. never really stood out to me. as much as i wanted to love brett and becca, their relationship felt extremely rushed and lacked certain detail. nonetheless, this was a cute and easy read.

i literally finished reading this book in less that six hours. the way i can’t stop reading this book during my class time. this book is original from wattpad and i just knew about that when i was about to start reading this book. i just knew that this book has fake dating trope and that’s it. very nice and sweet book ever. love the “classic” fake dating we got in this book. i liked both main characters in here, Becca and Brett. love their chemistry so much. becca was a cool girl i really loved her vibes. and brett all i remember about him he is a popular guy who really wants to be in relationship. the only thing that i didn’t liked in this book is how they rushed everything and we didn’t get to feel it. 

the relationship between them is the only thing that i keep in reading and istg i’m swooning. i just loved it so much and enjoyed it. the kiss scene. whenever them spending time together i literally smiles nonstop. and the ending literally left me a huge grin on my face. read this book if you love some cute wholesome story and fake dating in it!!!!

Its was a nice distracting read and i enjoyed the book. However this was the most pointless book i have ever read. The conflict felt like a bump in the road and that it was just brushed under the rug and they just moved on. Also could not tell you what the morale/point of this story was.

becca and brett's daddy issues. i liked it. i feel like there was no big problems in this novel. it's just like "okay i forgive you bye" kind of thing.

There were so many cute quotes in this book! I recommend for a quick romance read because it only took me a little over 2 hours. I also love that the main character was a reader!

I had to DNF this one. I liked the premise, but it was too juvenile for me. I like a good cheesy romance, but this was giving “I’m not like other girls” and insta love, and I was not vibing. 

I’ve never DNF’d a book before, even though some were heinous, so this is a big deal for me.

Definitely more of a YA novel, but sweet and a happy, easy read.

It’s a cute little YA romance that’s a fast read and easily get you out of a slump what can you say? 

Callie Stull

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I finished it in a day… Its a really fun and quick read. However, unbeknownst to me, my kindle crashed half way through the book… literally was 52% of the way done… so aside from being stuck reading it on my phone, it was so good. adorable book about 2 people who aren’t looking for a relationship but fake date each other to get the people in their lives off their back…

3.7/5. this book was a quick and easy read. i didn’t feel super connected to the characters but their break up scene hit a little to close to home. it felt like my heart was coming up my throat. side note: is to much to ask for the ending to happen to me?

4.5/5 BRETT AND BECCA HAVE MY HEART MY LITTLE MEOW MEOWS such a fun book I love how their each others safe place it makes me cry

Elicia Au Duong

Super cutesy highschoolfake-dating romancing. Swoon-worthy male lead who plays football, and adorable book-obsessed MC.

           AHH I really enjoyed this book! solid 4⭐


super short and sweet :)) becca was amazing i absolutely adore her ! 

brett has such golden retriever vibes it's honestly so cute 🥰 (i need a Brett in my life)

this book is super short and sweet. a perfect palate cleanser. 

i loved it also because it was based in a school setting which is up my alley ( give me some academic rivals )

It was a bit weird and unrealistic how they just suddenly ended up "dating" but other than that it was a good book
