About this ebook
The feel-good, hilarious and swoon-worthy new book from the author of MR WRONG NUMBER
'I was obsessed with Hallie and Jack right from the start' 5* READER REVIEW
'Lynn Painter never fails to make the best romcoms and this was no different! This had EVERYTHING - fake dating, only one bed, jealous love interest - I loved every SECOND!' 5* READER REVIEW
'I already know this is going to be one of my favourites of the year . . . Just perfection. I want to read this book again already' 5* READER REVIEW
__________
After yet another disastrous date, Hallie Piper decides it's time to grow up.
She gets a new apartment, a new haircut, and a new wardrobe. But when she logs into an app to find new love, she matches with none other than Jack: the guy the wrong kind of sparks had flown with just weeks earlier.
Agreeing that they are absolutely not interested in each other, Jack and Hallie realise that they're each other's perfect wing-person - and join forces in their searches for The One. They even place a wager on who can find romance first.
But when they agree to be fake dates for a wedding, all bets are off.
Because as they pretend to be a couple, they struggle to remember why dating for real was a bad idea to begin with . . .

After their one-night stand at his sister's wedding Jack and Hallie are horrified to find themselves matched on a dating app but they got on well as friends so decide to buddy up to find love. This was a pleasant read, good banter, and lots of sparks. The only problem is I didn't write a review and then couldn't remember anything about the book after only a couple of days. Ideal beach holiday reading. I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.

About the author
Lynn Painter lives with her husband and pack of wild children in Nebraska, where she is a weekly contributor to the Omaha World-Herald and an avid fan of napping. When working on a new book, she can often be found sound asleep on her office floor. Some might say she should grow up and stop randomly dozing off like she's a toddler, but Lynn considers it part of her writing process.
