"Funny, smart, and spicy!" —Abby Jimenez, New York Times bestselling author of Say You'll Remember Me
Librarian Marcela Ortiz has been secretly in love with her best friend for years—and when he gets engaged, she knows it’s long past time to move on. But before she gets the chance, she has a bigger problem to contend with in the form of Theo Young, ex-NFL player and older brother of the man she’s in love with.
When she discovers Theo's plans to confess his feelings for his brother’s fiancée at their engagement party, Marcela is quick to stop him—despite how tempting it is to let him run away with the bride-to-be. She convinces Theo to sleep off his drunken almost-mistake at her place—and the next day, everyone assumes they hooked up. Since they both need a cover, they decide to roll with the lie.
Until one late night at a bar, they take it a step further and discover a layer of attraction neither realized existed. Soon, they find themselves exploring the simmering chemistry between them. Their rebound is working ... maybe a little too well.

I respectfully DNF at 10%/ after chapter 3. I'm not proud of myself to give up so early, but I just can't. I already had a weird feeling during the first chapter, but thought that I just needed to give it some time. Well, what can I say. The FMC is pining after her best friend, who is now engaged to another mutual friend. She has been in love with him for 8 (!) years and still has some sort of hope (?). I feel like I read her whining and pity herself nonstop during those chapters. There's also this constant thought that Alice (her best friend's fiancée) is planing something behind her back? And don't get me started on that weird love triangle, or as someone else said love quartett, because that just took a really weird turn for me. On top of that, there's was something in the writing, especially the way the FMC talks about other characters, that didn't work for me. This book is surely for someone, but that someone is not me. Thank you to Renegade/Dialogue for providing this book for review via NetGalley. All opinions are my own.
