I received an advance review copy for free from Booksirens, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Abby Queenan gives advice on love to those who listen to her radio show. When it comes to her own love life, its different. After the devastation of being left at the alter by her childhood sweetheart, Abby has sworn off dating.
When a competition that's too good to pass up is announced at the radio station she works for, Abby needs to find something that will give her an edge on her competitors. She needs someone famous, who will be able to provide a mans perspective on dating, to appear on her show.
Callum Connolly, hot shot Irish rugby legend, is happy with the single life and is not looking to be tied down. But this changes when his team mate bet that he cant keep the same girlfriend for 3 months.
After a chance meeting, Abby and Callum make a deal that will be mutually beneficial. Will Abby take a chance and break her own rules? Will Callum be able to stick it out or will he return to his old ways?
What I liked about this book
- Fake dating is undeniably one of my favourite romance tropes so I was immediately sucked in.
- The book is set in Ireland.
- There are some funny moments, but Love & Other Mushy Stuff also covers some difficult topics including suicide and degenerative illness.
- The book is told from the perspective of both Abby and Callum. Callum's chapters were my favourite. I particularly enjoyed the dynamic between him and his team mates.
What I didn't like
- The timeline is too short. Many big, life changing experiences happen within 6 months and it just takes away from the believability a bit.
I would recommend this book to anyone who liked The Ex-talk or The Hating Game.
4 stars
