This Time it’s Real
By Ann Liang
The plot is one often used…Fake boyfriend/girlfriend, coupled with a secret driving at least one of the participants. This time both have motivation, but readers don’t know that at the beginning.
The unraveling/revealing is done smoothly, although there are times when I (and many readers, I suspect) will want to give Eliza a dope slap. Nonetheless, it’s a very satisfying read.
