I received this book for free from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Two professionals fake a relationship for a wedding in this cute, if formulaic, romance.

Drew and Alexa are two attractive and successful professionals stuck in an elevator. When Drew asks Alexa to attend a wedding as his faux girlfriend, their lives change forever. These two characters are engaging and funny, particularly when they are flirting with each other. However, Alexa is by far the more engaging of the two. She deals with interesting personal and professional issues on top of the romance, creating an authentic and captivating character.

While this book is cute, it's also formulaic and angst-filled. Alexa and Drew's drama felt contrived at times. It would have been far more interesting to see these two characters deal with the drama of long distance dating than how to define their relationship.

tl;dr A cute romance with a captivating female protagonist and angst-filled drama.
