Fake dating, enemies to lovers, and a wonderfully unique forced proximity debut romance, perfect for fans of Elena Armas’s The American Roommate Experiment and Drew Barrymore’s classic rom-com Fifty First Dates. Elle’s grandmother Lovie has always taken care of her, as long as she can remember. But remembering is just the problem. With Lovie’s Alzheimer’s progressing fast, it’s Elle’s turn to step up. Leaving Chicago behind, the last thing she expects when she walks through the door of her childhood home is Adam Wheeler—in her bed. Live-in nurse and pain in the ass, Adam is here to do his job. Eat, sleep, nurse, repeat. Thrown together to care for Lovie, tensions rise and lines are drawn, but there’s a bigger problem: in her Alzheimer’s riddled mind, Lovie’s convinced that Elle and Adam are madly in love. Certain she’ll forget by morning, Elle and Adam play along. The only snag? She doesn’t. Lovie is the only person who thinks this fake dating scheme is real…so why is Elle fantasizing about Adam when he’s not around? And why is it getting harder to pretend? Fake It Like You Mean It is the perfect blend of romance, laugh out loud comedy, and heartbreakingly beautiful moments.

Elle’s grandmother Lovie raised her & she knew this time would be coming, so she decides to go home & help care for her grandmother until she can find a more permanent solution. What she doesn’t expect to find when she shows up at her childhood home is Adam sleeping in her bed. Adam is the nurse who has been assigned to help care for her grandmother & these two can’t stand each other. But when Lovie thinks they’re a couple, these two have to fake it like they mean it for the sake of Elle’s grandmother. I really enjoyed this book! When I thought back after finishing it what I would rate it, I went through my rating system & really enjoyed so much about this book. I tried to think of something that bothered me or I didn’t care for & I couldn’t find a single thing. I loved the relationship that Elle had with her grandmother & seeing the moments they had together was so precious. Watching Adam struggle with things in his own life, but still be there to help Elle with Lovie was the sweetest! I loved these two & honestly every character involved, and I can’t wait for everyone else to get their hands on it! 😍 Fake It Like You Mean It is a super cute romance novel by debut author Megan Murphy! This book features a fake relationship, enemies to lovers, one bed, forced proximity, & Alzheimer’s disease awareness. Thank you to NetGalley, Megan Murphy & Alcove Press for the ARC of this book in exchange for my honest opinion.
