Fake Marrieds Meme
I’ve recently become fascinated with the Fake Married meme in fan fiction. I don’t review fanfic on this blog even though I read quite a lot (several novels worth a year) because it’s so variable in quality. Recently I thought ‘Why not hunt down some original novels using the meme?’. As a result the next few entries on the blog are reviews of ‘fake married’ stories.
Strange Bedpersons
Hippy chick do-gooder agrees to pretend to be engaged to her ex-boyfriend so he can land the client that will get him a partnership at his law firm.
The book’s strength is in it’s witty dialogue but the plotting is incredibly predictable and the characters are so self-centred they actively become annoying at times.
I’ve read another previous Crusie novel (Faking It) and this just isn’t as good.
