Well, Actually
Mazey Eddings
Eva Kitt never expected to be the host of Sausage Talk, interviewing B-list celebrities over lukewarm hot dogs, instead of pursuing the journalism career she dreamed of. But when Eva’s impromptu public call out of her college ex goes viral, she’s thrust into the spotlight. It doesn’t help said ex is Rylie Cooper, a beloved social media personality that has built a platform on deconstructing toxic masculinity and teaching men how to be good partners. Forced to confront Rylie on a live episode of Sausage Talk, he offers Eva a deal: allow him to take her on a series of dates to make up for his toxic behavior, then debrief them on his channel to show he’s changed. Eva refuses to play nice, but agrees to the scheme to advance her own career and continue defaming Rylie’s good name. When these manufactured dates start to feel real, Eva has to wonder if the boy that broke her heart has become the man that might heal it.

0Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC of this book in exchange for a honest review. I’ve read a few Mazey Eddings books prior to this one and I really enjoy how she mixes the fun of a standard rom com with real-world relationship issues. This book is no different. This book is an enemies-to-lovers/grumpy sunshine/second chance romance but this time SHE is the grump and he is maybe not sunshine completely but a mostly sunny day. One of the things I liked about this book is that it models healthy communication between 2 people who clearly have a lot of trauma in their past. Yeah, sometimes it was messy but that’s real life. There are quite a few spicy scenes in the book. I don’t typically shy away from that type of content in books but I felt like a couple of them were timed wrong storyline-wise and I found myself skimming them. That said, she does write great scenes!! Solid 4 star book. It does deal with toxic workplace, bullying, death and bisexuality but Eddings handles all of that with care.
