About the book
A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER A TikTok sensation, this rom-com about a young woman who agrees to fake date a colleague and bring him to her sister’s wedding has “everything you could want in a romance” (Helen Hoang, New York Times bestselling author). Catalina Martín desperately needs a date to her sister’s wedding. Especially since her little white lie about her American boyfriend has spiralled out of control. Now everyone she knows—including her ex and his fiancée—will be there and eager to meet him. She only has four weeks to find someone willing to cross the Atlantic and aid in her deception. New York to Spain is no short flight and her raucous family won’t be easy to fool. Enter Aaron Blackford—her tall, handsome, condescending colleague—who surprisingly offers to step in. She’d rather refuse; never has there been a more aggravating, blood-boiling, and insufferable man. But Catalina is desperate, and as the wedding draws nearer, Aaron looks like her best option. And she begins to realize he might not be as terrible in the real world as he is at the office.

“you know that weird couple you always somehow end up behind in line for a rollercoaster at Disney world? the ones always all over each other and acting so overly intense? this is them, but in a corporate setting (with a brief trip to Spain for a wedding)”
“I MADE A GOODREADS' ACCOUNT JUST TO RATE THIS BOOK Watch me lose my mind in the whole review process Disclaimer: Brace for subjective turbulence ahead! This review is my personal take, so buckle up and enjoy the ride 3.5 rounded up to 4. So yeah it's good, but Catalina brings me a lottttt of embarrassment sometimes. Also some parts of the book are cringe and when I got to know that the author considered aron as Clark Kent. God. I died. Tf!!! I'd rather not imagine him at all than imagine him as Kent( Kent just seems to old for Catalina as for the way she's described). Also them calling each…”
“2/5 stars My brain is telling me to give this book three stars, because it really wasn't that bad and I'm probably being overdramatic, by my heart wants to give it two stars just because Aaron Blackford creeped me out so much. Just urgh. No. I hate possessive men. I'm gonna sleep on this and rate it tomorrow. Actually, nevermind. I'm not sleeping on it. I'm giving it two stars bc it's been 20 minutes my hatred for Aaron is growing uncontrollably. Most of the time when it comes to romance books, I don't love them and I 100% know that I'm the problem. Romance books aren't for me. But this is…”
