This was a sweet read. It's a premise we've seen before but it was done well with likeable characters and a smooth, straightforward storyline. Camera-shy and somewhat nerdy YA author, Hailey, is forced to pretend to be the girlfriend of sexy, swoonworthy, Connor, a famous athlete with a bad reputation. As the story progresses, you can guess what happens but, there are some very good moments on the pages in between. 
 Hailey is a great character. Although she's shy and doesn't like the spotlight, don't be fooled into believing she can be pushed around. Her relationship with Connor is filled with feisty arguments and "I'm drawing the line" situations. Hailey would be the kind of girl I'd love to have as a friend - smart, funny and fiercely loyal. Connor makes a terrible first impression but, lucky for us, there's more to him than meets the eye. Underneath the cocky, womanizing, playboy is a sweet guy who, quite honestly, is misunderstood by the world at large. As these two are thrown together, we see first nothing...then a spark...then a flame...and, finally, some great chemistry. And here's where I needed more. I would have liked to spend a few more minutes, a chapter even, with them at the end. I wanted to bask in their happiness but wasn't given much of a chance. This is a book that could use an epilogue! 
 I liked watching these two battle each other and get to know each other. It was refreshing that there wasn't insta-love here. I also enjoyed the internal monologues and the bit of humor that was thrown in. Overall, this was a fun, light read with enjoyable characters and a feel-good ending that I think anyone would enjoy.
