The Match Faker by Ruby Barrett

Frik, I just love Ruby Barrett's books! This is her first self pubbed book and I feel like some authors might struggle with that since a whole other side of things is now up to you to handle/make happen, but I could tell it was so carefully and thoughtfully done. More accurately, even without the backing of a big publisher, I couldn't tell the difference because her characters were still so strong, her writing just as clear, funny, and emotional. Well done!! 
Nick and Jasmine end up fake dating to help each other out but she thinks he's someone else when they first meet and he doesn't know that until partway through her event but his event is later so he selfishly doesn't want to tell her. She's obsessed with trying to be someone else's version of perfect rather than being herself, and he is so himself it's made him the black sheep of his family and everything she thinks she doesn't want. But their chemistry is explosive, even when their lies blow up, and eventually they both figure out what they need to do to be happy. I loved it! Also, let's keep the trend of hot redhead women going because I'm here for it. Also also, I don't know if this is the plan at all, but I'd love to see Jazz's sister Jade get her own book, as she is all sorts of chaotic and fascinating and I want to know more.
