Lots of heart and laughter in this cutesy romance between two teens that are constantly thrown together by their parents. Their love blooms slowly and steadily, and is pure in all the way that matters. Definitely recommend.

The whole fake dating trope has been done many times before, but Fake It Till You Break It still makes it so much fun. While reading this book, it felt like I was watching a romcom. Yes, this story is predictable, but the characters made this story unique in its own way.

Mia and Jake have grown up together and spent a lot of time seeing each other with their families. If it were up to their parents, they would already be married. That may be hard though, because Mia and Jake hate each other. They would be happy if they never saw each other again. Their parents are funny though, because they try making them spend time together in the cutest ways.

To finally get their mothers to stop, they decide it's time to pretend to date. If they break up, their mothers will leave them alone. Of course, this brings plenty of funny moments (a kiss that ends up being one on the tip of a nose, etc.). If you've watched or read any romcoms, we know that their feelings end up catching up to them. I loved that in this story it felt really natural. What helped the most is that we had two POVs during this book: Jake & Mia. It was fun watching them realize that they really didn't hate each other and even started caring.

Even though this story is mostly focused on their fake romance, there were other elements that I really loved as well. Mia has a dream to act in a play/musical, but never feels confident enough to try. Jake in many ways gives her this confidence and she finally gives herself a chance. Jake stopped pursuing music when his brother left, even though it's still something he loves. Mia helps him find that journey again. So besides romance, family has a big part in this story as well.

Fake It Till You Break It is a book you can't put down (I finished in one sitting) and a perfect read for on the beach or near the swimming pool. This book will make you smile and swoon and what else do you need during a nice summer day?

 Fake It Till You Break It is a really cute book and a quick read, I actually finished it in an afternoon. It's about two neighbours, that used to be very close when they were kids and later started hating each other, who decide to fake a relationship. The reason behind the charade is that their mothers are best friends and convinced that they are the perfect couple. 

Both characters are very likeable and perfect for each other, the chemistry great and the writing good! I would like to learn more about the secondary characters, like the friends and mothers and maybe more scenes related to their hobbies, theatre and music. 
Don't expect twists or drama, they basically realise how much they like each other early in the story and they just try to hide it. 

Cute and adorable!
