Face It

By: Georgette Kaplan

Narrated by: Anastasia Watley

When the woman you never got over shows up asking you to play her girlfriend for the holidays, that sounds like fun in an awkward, don't die-now-heart, kind of way. A lesbian romantic comedy with a side of fake relationships, small towns, and holiday love.

In college, Elizabeth Smile shared a magical tryst with her roommate, Michelle Harlow. She had no idea the night would leave Elizabeth pining after her for the next ten years. Now Michelle is back with a strange offer: Will she pretend to be Michelle's lesbian lover to beat Michelle's cheating husband?

Of course, it's a terrible idea. And it would mean leaving the New York nightlife behind and spending Christmas with Michelle's family in Ohio—an overly accepting father, a pill-popping brother, and a suspicious sister who seems to have her own agenda with Elizabeth.

Worst of all, it'll mean facing up to some old feelings she'd rather not revisit. But, really, she can handle all that. How hard can it be?

This twisty holiday romance is about getting more than we bargain for.

Contains mature themes.

I stuck with it…

The first 3/4 of the book is filled with boring dialogue. The last 1/4 of the book was mediocre at best. It will go in the not to be listened to again collection.

Final Curtain

Elizabeth had a one night twist with her roommate Michelle in college. It had heft her pining ever since. Now Michelle is back asking for a fake relationship over The holidays. Took me some time to get into the book. Michelle is a totally unlikable character for me. Elizabeth seems a shallow character at first but then the action with sister of Michelle gets interesting. A study in dysfunctional relationships.

shruggled

narrator was terrible. story ok but couldn't stay awake. rewound several times. ending good tho

not as bad as the reviews seem

I actually didn't mind this book. I could totally see it being made into a movie actually. I would give it a try if you come across it.

Well, I found it refreshing!

After reading some of the reviews, I wasn’t expecting much. I think I bought this at a discount to give it a shot. The author is hit and miss for me, and this was definitely “hit”!
It held my interest throughout, and I truly wasn’t sure what was going to happen. All the characters were very interesting in a quirky way. I, for one, am very pleased that this wasn’t a been there, done that storyline. I was entertained, laughed, and happy with how the events played out. Another reviewer called it “brilliant” and I have to kind of agree!
