The Next Best Fling by Gabriella GamezMy Rating: ✩✩✩✩✩
With a fun twist on fake/mistaken relationship, here we see what happens when two people in love with their best friend, or brother's fiance, fake it until they make it.
I really liked the premise and the plot moved along with a reasonable HEA and no major plot holes or out of character behavior. The fake dating trope played out in a realistic way. It wasn't a clever hoax that all comes crashing down, instead it is just not arguing when people make assumptions. The cast of supporting characters were fun and unique with being "QuiRkY" and there is room in this world for more books, which I anxiously await.
I did have a few quibbles, mainly I felt that Marcella was a bit immature, but I recognize that her maturing (namely outgrowing her old patterns) is part of her character arc, so that may have been for a reason. I did not feel super into the chemistry and the spice was only OK, so that may be a matter of personal preference.
All together I enjoyed this tropey contemporary and look forward to more in the series.
