I was given this ARC by the publisher in exchange for an Honest Review.

I am so torn on this book. I have liked Fake Relationship books in the past, and so I wanted to give this one a try, but then it was like reading two different books when it came to the character of Madison.

Madison is a playgirl with money whose grandmother (who kinda sorta raised Madison) gives her an ultimatum. Stop messing around and grow up or you get no inheritance.

So, what does she do? She hires a waitress who's barely making ends meet to be her girlfriend, and suddenly Sherry and her son Jake's lives change forever. They move into Madison's apartment and become a whole fake family for Madison.

It goes as you would assume with everyone getting closer and that's where there seemed to be a switch that's thrown in re: Madison's character and where before she was an ass, now she's perfect? It was a bit disconcerting to read.

I also didn't really like how many of the secondary storylines seemed to be unresolved at the end of the novel.

Still, I really, really liked the characters and definitely wanted to know much more about most of them. I also really, really liked how Jake was written. ( )
