The One Month Boyfriend (Wildwood Society, #1)
Roxie Noir
Fake dating my sworn enemy to make my ex so jealous he can't see straight? Worth it. Silas and I agree on one thing, and one thing only: my ruthless, heartless, narcissistic jerk of an ex-fiance needs to be taken down a notch. So we do what anyone would do: we pretend to be a couple. Even though Silas and I are polar opposites. Silas is a loud, cheerful, over the top showboat. He’s his hometown’s golden boy, the Marine who came back to rescue kittens from trees and walk old ladies across the street. And me? I'm the awkward new girl who freezes up around strangers and can’t make small talk to save my life. It shouldn’t work. We can barely have a conversation without arguing. There's no way we should be friends, let alone dating, except... Everyone believes it. Especially my ex. Now I'm having way too many real fantasies about the man who gets on my last nerve. My fake boyfriend is starting to feel a whole lot like a real one. The kisses feel real. The way he protects me feels real. The night we spend together in a hotel bed feels very real. This was supposed to be fake, but I think I might have fooled myself most of all.

Likes:
* the banter during the fake dating part was funny
* there was good character development for both MCs
Dislikes:
* I think I dislike enemies to friends to lovers or at least how it was done in this book. I was 60% in and didn’t see any romantic connection between the two MCs. It was like the book was supposed to be slow burn but it lacked the burn
* there was way too much anxiety/ptsd/anxiousness going on in this book. To have both characters have these major mental health struggles was just a lot. Too much.
Overall this was okay. The only part I liked between 0-60% was the banter during the fake dating. Once they actually became a real couple and there was good character development I started to actually like the book. Like I said in my dislikes that it felt like the story was supposed to be a slow burn yet it really lacked the burn part and was just slow. I think if this wasn’t my last book of the year I would’ve DNFd this because I truly was frustrated and bored but I pushed myself to finish. I don’t regret it but I’m not sure if I’d recommend this book to anyone. I will say there is one
