What to expect

Her best friend's brother. A broken heart. A fake relationship.

The laugh-out-loud TikTok sensation you need this summer!

Daisy Patel has her life all planned out, and no interest in love. Her family, however, expect a marriage.

Liam Murphy is a venture capitalist with something to prove. Until he realises his inheritance is contingent on being married.

A fake marriage will get Daisy's matchmaking relatives off her back and fulfil the terms of his late grandfather's will. If only he hadn't broken her tender teenage heart nine years ago . . .

Sparks fly when Daisy and Liam go on a series of dates to legitimise their fake relationship. Too late, they realize that this might not be the perfect plan.

Buzzfeed
This fake-engagement romance will win readers over as Daisy and Liam explore their past traumas and rekindle their love.
Booklist
Geek-chic Daisy makes an endearing heroine, and the dysfunctional Murphy family provides believable tension. Desai's fans will be thrilled to reconnect with the eccentric Patels and new readers will be hooked. This is a gem.
