Faking It is such a beautiful sequel to Losing It. I actually enjoyed this one more than it's predecessor. I loved Cade! I never swoon over any of my book boyfriends before, but I swear I did with Cade! LOL 
 Cade Winston is not yet over Bliss but he is trying his best to move on, specially now that Garrick is going to propose to her. After his torturous coffee date with "the couple", a tattooed lady asked him to pose as his boyfriend for the day in exchange for anything he wants. Cade seemed to be attracted to her even though she isn't his type. So, he agreed and asked her for a "real" date in return. 
 The last thing Mackenzie "Max" Miller wanted to do is for her parents to meet her drummer and equally tattoed boyfriend Mace. Scratch that, she never wanted them to meet him at all because they definitely wont approve of him. So when her mother accidentally heard Mace while she was talking with her over the phone, they started asking questions about him. To appease her parents, she made up a perfectly nice boyfriend that her parents will surely adore. Unfortunately, the torture didn't end there. Her parents are actually on their way to visit her for Thanksgiving and wants to meet up with Max and her imaginary boyfriend in the coffee shop she and Mace are in. Her solution: send Mace home and proposition the Mr. Nice Guy in the coffee shop to pretend as her boyfriend! 
 The Golden Boy and the Angry Girl in a pretend relationship that felt more real than any relationship they've had. 
 I thoroughly enjoyed Faking it. Even though the story may have been a cliche--- two characters that are so wrong to be together (or at least they thought) but are very attracted to one another--- yes, it's a cliche, but it doesn't mean that it didn't work for Carmack's story. The book is a perfect blend of everything---there's humor, drama, internal struggles, family issues, sexual tension and romance. It's so good that I finished the book in one sitting! 
 It's very easy to fall in love with the characters. Max is not your usual heroine-- she have piercings and tattoos, she works in a tattoo parlor and also works as a dancer in a bar. She's a struggling musician but she never thought of giving up her dreams. She's basically the alpha character in this story. Cade on the other hand is her exact opposite. Even though he's a struggling actor, he is taking his master's degree to become a college professor, he's polite, he volunteers during his free time, and even hugs a stranger! He's so freaking amazing. I fell in love with Cade in chapter three, right after he said: "You look beautiful. Don't worry." *swoon* I melted a little when he sang in chapter 12. By chapter 26, I was ready to marry him! LOL. Cade is now my favorite book boyfriend! 
 I just want to share this part of a poem that I really loved which makes me think of Cade and Max situation, it goes something like this: 
 when he offers his lips, 
 take them. 
 take his arms, 
 his throat 
 take his toes. 
 when he offers, 
 gorge, 
 swallow everything whole... 
 from Jeannan Verlee's Lessons on Loving a Prophet 
 And I think Max did well *smirks* up until she chickened out in Chapter 28. I mean, come on, Cade is perfect. He is exactly what she needed! If it were me, I will say YES even before he open his mouth to ask. LOL! I was a tad disappointed when Max left Cade's apartment but I really didn't think it was a stupid decision in Max' part. You see, fear is like pain, it's subjective -- what is scary for her may not be scary for other people. You cannot force someone to do something that she is genuinely scared of. At least not until she gathered enough courage to face her fears. Even though I hated Max for hurting Cade (albeit unintentionally), I can't help but cheer on her when she decided to show up on his apartment a week after. That took a lot of guts coming from a scared and tortured soul like Max. 
 I had so much fun reading Faking It and I recommend this book to all New Adult fiction lovers! Yeah, I'm a nice girl... I'm willing to share Cade with everyone. LOL
