𝐌𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬: Emily is a single, author/ part time barista in her 30’s. Her overbearing family can’t seem to let that fact that she is happy being single go. She is the last of 5 daughters who has yet to be married, and her mom is constantly trying to set her up on dates. Her mom’s current quest is Mark Chan. He is all she talks about. He is around the same age as Emily, he is a “boring” engineer, and she isn’t a fan when she meets him at her sister's wedding. They ultimately come up with a fake dating plan to get their parents off their backs. Unfortunately, there are holes in their stories, so they have to start dating for real.

𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐝:
• Bridget Jones/Pride & Prejudice vibes
• Yummy foods (that made me hungry)
• Several cute, laugh out loud moments
• Ms. Muffins
• Drunk texting
• Loved the character development
• I really enjoyed reading Mark’s POV, I do wish it appeared earlier in the book maybe with a more alternating Dual POV
• I adore Mark - Emily was definitely too hard on him
• Super cute book cover!
• Great ending
𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐈 𝐃𝐢𝐝𝐧'𝐭 𝐋𝐢𝐤𝐞:
• I felt like this book was a little slow to start
• Emily was such a negative person through much of the book, it was hard to relate to her
• I didn’t care for how Emily’s daily treated her for being single in her 30’s
