MY REVIEW

Elaina (Lainey) meets the sweetest guy on New Year's Eve while at a friend's party, and an instant connection is sparked. Too bad she's just had eye surgery and literally cannot see Adam. She can hear him, though, and everything he says and does is just so sweet and swoony. Making a new friend could be just what Lainey needs as she sets out to cross off items on her new bucket list. But when somehow she ends up being his fake girlfriend, those friendly feelings will become much more than just friendly.


Adam doesn't want his new friend to finally see him and react the way a lot of women do when they see his famous movie star face. Thank God Lainey is unique, and wonderful, and their connection is true. It can certainly withstand, perhaps flourish in, a fake relationship situation, right?


Awww this story and this couple is adorable! I love that they forge a true friendship before it ever becomes romantic/physical. Lost Love Found is a definite slow burn love story, filled with wonderful characters and a true friendship that evolves into more.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
