Once Upon A Fake Date…

Audrey

All my life, I’d been dreaming of two things: shining in the spotlight on stage and falling in love. When I landed the lead part in the spring musical junior year, it felt like everything was falling into place. Especially when my childhood best friend came waltzing back into my life. Only, he’d gone from a scrawny pre-teen to a handsome athlete, and it was hard to take my eyes off of him.

Especially when he ended up as my co-lead for the musical. But our friendship meant too much to me to risk. I wasn’t sure my heart could survive losing him again.

Parker

Transferring to Castleton University for my senior year was my chance to start over and focus on lacrosse and getting my degree. What I didn’t expect when my teammates dragged me to a party was finding the girl of my dreams… also known as my childhood best friend.

I was supposed to be focusing on lacrosse. Not volunteering to be the lead in the musical with her. Or fake dating her.

Except for when I saw her in my jersey, smiling just for me, I had a hard time remembering why this was supposed to be fake.

Which was why I intended to prove that I was the happy ending she’d always dreamed of.

One fake date at a time.

A spicy Sleeping Beauty inspired college romance.

Sunny Shelly’s Review: 4 Stars

This was a super cute fairy tale reimagining of Sleeping Beauty. Parker and Audrey (aka Rosie) had been best friends when they were around 12-13, but then his family moved away and they lost touch. Years later, they run into each other when he transfers to Castleton University and they rekindle their friendship. He’s a shy jock, she’s a free-spirited drama major…. when Audrey is having some issues with a former paramour, Parker steps up and offers to be her fake boyfriend to get the ex off her back. And of course, we all know how that goes!

I really loved the easy friendship between these characters. It was natural and effortless, and I didn’t feel like the chemistry was being forced upon me. Parker is a total cinnamon roll golden retriever book boyfriend, and this romance totally has the “it’s always been you” vibes.

This was the first book I’ve read by Jennifer Chipman, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Once Upon A Fake Date is a super charming, lighthearted, feel-good story! I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
