A waitress masquerading as an influencer and a wildlife photographer are on a collision course with romance—and chaos—in Hate to Fake It to You, a zany modern twist on a screwball comedy classic about figuring out what you really want—by pretending to be someone you’re not.
Everyone
gets a glow-up on social media, but Libby Lane's online persona is the
fakest of fakes. Cooked up as a joke by Libby and her best friends,
Lillibet is the affluent, healthier-than-thou opposite of her glam-free
life on the side of Oahu most tourists never see. The phony fronting is
all in good fun, until a real influencer stumbles onto the Love, Lillibet Instagram feed and starts making waves.
When
Hildy Johnson, the ambitious junior member of a media dynasty, travels
to Hawaii to talk to Lillibet about parlaying her lifestyle brand into a
job, Libby and her friends scramble to take the make-believe to a new
level. Complicating the charade even further is Hildy’s handsome
companion, a wildlife photographer named Jefferson Jones, whose keen eye
sees more than he lets on.
Between the pretend husband,
borrowed goats, a made-up holiday, and Libby’s very real attraction to
Jefferson, it’s anyone’s guess which lie will blow their cover first . .
. especially since Lillibet isn’t the only one with something to hide.
My Review:
A lighthearted and fun read.
I had so much fun reading this book. I couldn’t wait to see what would happen next. Libby isn’t your average influencer, she’s a fraud. Her friends have her back and even help out on her blog, Love, Lillibet. But how long will the secret stay hidden when Libby comes face to face with someone who is willing to give her a real writing career? This book was full of humor, witty banter, close friendships, romance and uniquely unpredictable situations. I had a hard time putting this book down.
Thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
