Tropes: slow burn, fake dating
Plot
Zora, Levi and Miriam are three siblings who jointly run a company that will send the sender’s partner a breakup message on their behalf. Zora is then tasked by Valerie, the sender to deliver a breakup message to Cyrus who’s an attorney. She also coincidentally meets Cyrus who doesn’t know she was the one who delivered the message. Given their instant attraction, will they make it out together out of the tangled mess?
Thoughts
This is the first book in the series and also my first book from this author and I chose this book for the fake dating trope.
I liked that this book had representation of inter-racial relationships because we don’t see that often in books enough. The breakup business was also an interesting plotline. Both Cyrus and Zora were strong headed people who knew how to work towards their goals. It was also a quick and fast paced read so it was easy to get through.
But their chemistry when they’re not in the “fake dating” situation seemed a little underwhelming. It also felt like the ending was rushed and there wasn’t a proper closure. The connection also seemed more to focus on the lust once they started getting along with one another.
