Is it ever too late to leave the friend-zone?

Hi, my name is Bree Camden, and I’m hopelessly in love with my best friend and star quarterback Nathan Donelson (so is half of America, judging by the tabloids and how much the guy dates). The first step is admitting, right? Except, I can never admit it to him because he clearly doesn’t see me that way, and the last thing I want is for things to get weird between us.

Nothing but good old-fashioned, no-touching-the-sexiest-man-alive, platonic friendship for us! Everything is exactly how I like it! Yes. Good. (I’m not crying, I’m just peeling an onion.)

Our friendship is going swimmingly until I accidentally spill my beans to a reporter over too much tequila, and now the world seems to think me and Nathan belong together. Oh, and did I mention we have to date publicly for three weeks until after the Super Bowl because we signed a contract with...oops, forgot I can’t tell anyone about that!

Bottom line is, now my best friend is smudging all the lines and acting very un-platonic, and I’m just trying to keep my body from bursting into flames every time he touches me.

How am I going to make it through three weeks of fake dating Nathan without anything changing between us? Especially when it almost-sort-a-kinda seems like he’s fighting for a completely different outcome?

Send help.
XO Bree

I'm getting to this soon!

I have 100 pages left and am thinking about DNF'ing it. At this point it just annoys me. Yes,it has it's funny moments, but still....

Oh no!

Finished it.
Let's saddle the horse backwards
(view spoiler)[ If I would have to describe it, then I would describe it as loud. Don't ask me why.
Granted it is her first book, but I still liked 'Practice makes perfect' a lot better.
Bree's students are too noisy ( even if that is kind of like realistic), but still... has no one in her books ever heard of privacy?
There could also have been more use of the cheat sheet, it sort of went under.
Also, I think some of the problems could have been solved during their fake relationship.
Yes, the book made me grin at some parts, but it wasn't enough. The characters just annoyed me. (hide spoiler)]

chapter 31
(view spoiler)[ A Vegas wedding? Really? After like what? a few days of real relationship? Miss me 😑 (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 12
(view spoiler)[ Yes, that scene is really funny, how they all act like the got caught red handed, but it can't save the book (hide spoiler)]

Chapter 5
(view spoiler)[ Isn't it a bit hypocritical of Bree to be upset at Nathan? Just a few pages she forced one of her students to tell Bree of her problems. (hide spoiler)]

Hahahaha

I'll pick this up next I think!

It's better than Mr. Wrong Number.
At least Bree and Nathan are adults.

Oh good lol I'll try and get through most of it tomorrow!
