Perfect for you if...

  • You love grumpy-sunshine romance where the banter is as spicy as the chemistry, and the fake marriage trope actually feels earned rather than contrived.
  • You're drawn to characters with real depth beneath their archetypes: brooding men with genuine reasons for their walls, bubbly women who aren't just decorative.
  • You want a feel-good read that doesn't shy away from emotional stakes and actually delivers on the promise that opposites complement each other.

Maybe not for you if...

  • You prefer slow-burn romance where the couple barely speaks until book three. This one moves fast and leans into instant attraction.
  • You're looking for high-stakes drama or dark secrets. Almost Pretend is lighter fare, more about two people learning to trust each other than uncovering buried trauma.
  • You find the fake marriage trope exhausted or lazy. If you need originality in premise, this plays familiar beats.

About this book

Eleanor Lark is an upbeat illustrator who suffers from frequent headaches and has unruly strawberry blonde hair. After a long cross-country flight, she loses consciousness and is caught by August Marshall, the brooding stranger seated next to her. August Marshall is a wealthy corporate specialist burdened by personal baggage. When Eleanor faints at the airport, his act of catching her generates unwanted media attention. To resolve the situation, August proposes that Eleanor marry him, which would eliminate the public scandal. Eleanor is initially shocked, having just met August. However, she becomes interested when he reveals that helping him could save a children's book series she loves. As they proceed with their arrangement, genuine attraction develops between them, and both struggle to maintain the boundary between their pretend relationship and real feelings.
