A reality star and a cupcake-making soccer player pretend to be a couple to save their bakery.

Fake It Til You Bake It is a cute, lighthearted read. Even when the romance moves too fast for my taste, I enjoyed it.

The author's writing is really good. I could picture the desserts perfectly, and I was craving cupcakes non-stop while reading this book. 

I love the fake dating trope.  If I put aside how insta-love their romance was, I loved it. There is so much chemistry between them, even when they've known each other for a couple of days. They complement each other's personalities, full of flirting and banter. That being said, when they started saying "I love you" to each other after a week I cringed.

I found this charming, and the addition of deep themes like gambling addiction, social media harassment, and family relationships make this book better.
