출판사 설명
Two people make a wager on who can find love first, not realizing what they should be betting on is each other, in this new romantic comedy by Lynn Painter, New York Times bestselling author of Mr. Wrong Number.
Hallie Piper is turning over a new leaf. After belly-crawling out of a hotel room (hello, rock bottom), she decides it’s time to become a full-on adult. She gets a new apartment, a new haircut, and a new wardrobe, but when she logs onto the dating app that she has determined will find her new love, she sees none other than Jack, the guy whose room she snuck out of.
After agreeing they are absolutely not interested in each other, Jack and Hallie realize they’re each other’s perfect wing-person in their searches for The One. They text each other about their dates, often scheduling them at the same restaurant so that if things don’t go well, the two of them can get tacos afterward.
Spoiler: they get a lot of tacos together.
Discouraged by the lack of prospects, Jack and Hallie make a wager to see who can find true love first, but when they agree to be fake dates for a weekend wedding, all bets are off. As they pretend to be a couple, lines become blurred and they both struggle to remember why the other was a bad idea to begin with.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Painter follows up Mr. Wrong Number with an equally cute friends to lovers romance. Jack Marshall has a crisis about his love life after the playboy uncle he's always idolized dies alone, leading Jack to cling to his own toxic relationship. That plan blows up in his face at the wedding of his sister, Olivia, to his best friend, Colin—the protagonists of the previous book—where Jack gets dumped and winds up hooking up with the bartender, Hallie Piper, instead. For Hallie, drunkenly hooking up with a stranger in the middle of her shift is rock bottom, but Jack turns out to be a kind and supportive confidant. The two of them make a bet: the first one to get their lives in order and find true love wins. Wing-manning for each other over a series of disastrous dates brings them closer—so close that when Hallie needs a date for her own sister's wedding, Jack steps in to play her fake boyfriend. Though Jack doesn't feel quite as fleshed out as potty-mouthed spark plug Hallie, their equally filthy sense of humor makes their connection feel real and their game of constant one-upmanship is a lot of fun. Painter's fans won't be disappointed.

Really cute!!
I loved this book! I’m in my teens, and I thought it was really cute and funny. There was a lot of detail maybe even too much on the in-bed parts, so not minor friendly at all, but it was really cute and I found myself laughing out loud and kicking my feet. Lynn painter does such a good job on her writing, and this would get 5 stars from me except for the sex scenes. Overall, I would recommend! (To adult readers)
Always good
The story was not waw butt the way she wrote it , the characters , the set everything is just amazing as always. It’s very good specially if you want a quick read like it’s fast and efficient. The book won’t waste your time and you’ll be hooked from the first chapter and i appreciate that
Funny and entertaining!
Really enjoyed this book. The humor is great, good amount of drama but not overboard or dragged out. Characters were great.
