Would You Rather

Product Information

Ashley makes favorite rom-com tropes feel new again with a pitch-perfect friends-to-lovers story.” —Publishers Weekly starred review OMGGGG THIS IS THE CUTEST THING I'VE EVER READ. This is only my fourth romcom I've completed in the last decade or so. After Twice Shy I was ready to throw in the towel, but I was craving a sweet and syrupy read so I thought YOLO and requested this. I am so glad I did. Pros: good jokey jokes throughout, super sweet and cute, solid characters, no Pander Express, just good vibes Fake marriage- friends to lovers tropes blended in extremely heartwarming, inspirational, genuine love story! You shouldn’t miss Mia and Noah’s amazing story! Claire was a way more interesting character who was not brought in enough. I would much rather watch a story of her and Graham or her alone rather than these two. I would do the same for Julia.

When Mia tells her best friend, Noah, of the opportunity and having to turn it down Noah comes up with a plan. Being friends forever Noah thinks no one will question them if Noah and Mia suddenly get married and then Mia can use his insurance and pursue her dreams but can the two of them still hide their attraction to one another being so close? I think we all know by now that friends to lovers is my favorite trope, so I was pretty sure I was going to love this one going in. Add in fake dating and forced proximity and it is pretty much a recipe for perfection.DISCLAIMER: I am not a seasoned romance reader, so if you are a romcom vet, you may feel very differently about this book. The author delivers a touching story that brings up so many different emotions. Hurt, anger, and fear are just to start. But one of my main peeves is the frustration with her extreme denial of assistance of any kind. She is overly stubborn and it got super repetitive for a bit. Featuring ~ best friends to lovers, chronic illness, fake marriage, marriage of convenience, no steamage This is angsty, heartfelt, beautiful love story with two adorable MCs! I highly recommend you to read it! Me devoré en pocos días este libro porque estaba atrapada en su trama. Un friends to lovers donde se conocen desde pequeños, lleno de humor pero también drama, su toque spicy infaltable, compañeros de trabajo, este fake dating llevado a otro nivel en un matrimonio por conveniencia y mi cliché favorito: "él se enamora primero" o mejor aún "él siempre estuvo enamorado de ella". Pero hay harto drama, y es que hay secretos familiares, un accidente devastador, duelo, culpa y problemas de salud que se suman a las mentiras y engaños en las que se verán envueltos los protagonistas, pero por una buena causa, que Mia pueda retomar el curso hacia su vocación sin perder su seguro médico.

WOW!! All the stars possible!! Would You Rather totally exceeded my expectations and is a MUST read for fans of romance books with emotional depth. I’m still thinking about this one and would recommend it to literally all readers. Mia’s relationship with her parents also definitely had my attention. Wow, there were so many emotions going through me any time they came up.

See a Problem?

When chronically ill Mia receives an unmissable opportunity to return to college to pursue once-abandoned professional dreams, she is torn and heartbroken to realise she’ll have to decline the offer because her precarious health status demands she stay in her unfulfilling job to keep her insurance relevant. Noah and Mia are childhood BFFs who have been by each other’s sides through major life moments like death of a loved one and illness. So much so that Noah proposes a marriage of convenience which Mia is reluctant to commit to. They finally decide to give a chance to marriage. But when they start to share the same household, the lines between friendship and true intimacy are getting blurrier. This was a completely satisfying read and I can’t wait for @bookswithnopictures buddy read and chat next week! This is a new-to-me author and will definitely be eager to read more by her.
