This was my first book by Marisa and I enjoyed it! Did I need a big glass of wine around 80%, yes, yes I did. This book is angsty, I don’t think it’s just me but if you like fake marriage, friends to lovers and a grand gesture then you will enjoy this book!

Evie and Theo have been friends since they met in dance class as children. There has always been something there but they ignored it and focused on their friendship. Especially as their family lives started to crumble.

When Evie needs health insurance and Theo needs a roommate they decide to get married until Evie can get a job with health benefits. But once married things start to change and those feelings they always had but pushed away start to come back. Now they need to decide how they want to move forward.
