Fake.
That’s what we are.
That’s what we agreed to be.

I thought it would be harder, convincing everyone our school’s star receiver was mine and mine alone, but we played our parts well.


So well, the lines between us began to blur until they disappeared completely.

The thing about pretending, though, someone’s always better at it, and by the time I realized my mistake, there was no going back.
I fell for our lie.
And then everything fell apart.

It turned out, he and I were never playing the same game.

He didn’t have to break me to win.
But he did it anyway.
My Thoughts... 

 This book came out of left field. I didn't expect to love it as much as I did. And damn did I LOVE it. Everything about it. It was perfect.

I loved the pacing of this book most of all. Nothing felt rushed, everything happened and occurred seamlessly. It did not feel like it dragged or like it was going too fast. It was absolutely perfect.

Next, the characters were totally amazing. Loved Nico and Demi individually and together they were an amazing couple. Sure, Nico did have some problems but those problems are what made me love him even more. He was such a sweetheart to Demi. It was good to see the dynamic between Demi and her mother as well, they were not close and that impacted her greatly in her life and made her feel lonely. We don't normally get present parents in most romance books, especially the romances set in high school, so this was refreshing and good to see that not all relationships between parents/child is a good one.

Lastly, I loved the friendships in this book. Demi was really close with her group of friends and I loved seeing them hang out and talk and also loved seeing how they all loved one another. Especially when one of them was hurting or had something going on, they were all there for their friends.
I also loved the friendship between Nico and his best friend Trent. They were really close and I loved seeing the way Trent would look out for his friend and just be there for him.

This book blew me away and I cannot wait to read more of this authors work.

That night changed both our lives, turning our beginning into something toxic. We were poison together and there was no antidote. Our story began like any other fairy tale ended.

He didn’t come to save me… and he vowed there would be no happily ever after. And me? Just like the legends I'd read as a little girl, I always thought I’d be the princess in my fairy tale. Well, I was the villain of our love story. “Till death do us part…” My Thoughts...  *ARC kindly provided by the author and CandiKane PR in exchange for an honest review* This book is about Julianna Romano who was arranged to marry Killian Spencer by her father....
