I could feel her pain, her frustration, her anger. I related to Cricket’s need to hold onto inanimate objects, thinking they hold more than just a memory her need to maintain her own concept of living because that was the only way of life. Not just from a romantic relationship but from losses that life throws at you. I wasn’t expecting the self-love journey Cricket goes on as she figures out her love life. You can’t help but hope that they will get a second chance together. I just wanted to shake Cricket and tell her, “Listen to your sister!! He IS in love with you, stupid.” But Sonny’s casual attitude toward Cricket’s fake relationship doesn’t help the situation. It’s the classic will-they-won’t-they love story of misunderstanding and hidden emotions. What she doesn’t realize is that she’d be working closely with Sonny for the next few weeks, planning his boss’s anniversary party. Thinking this was a chance encounter, Cricket fakes a relationship with a friend she had brought along as her date.

A year after her heart-shattering breakup with the love of her life, Sonny shows up out of nowhere. Cricket is a successful event planner who runs her own business. This second chance romantic comedy is a fun, delightful ride with a bit of spice and a plot twist that kept me on the edge of my seat. What's she going to do with this bird?Īnd how is she supposed to work with Sonny without completely losing her heart? Then there’s the obnoxious macaw, sent by her globe-trotting twin sister Meadow. Of course, working with Sonny only reminds her of everything she lost when he moved away. But when Cricket discovers she and Sonny will be working together, she’s forced to keep up the lie. It’s the perfect way to save face, and she’s sure she’ll never see Sonny again. Cricket can’t let him know she’s not over him, so she does the only thing she can think of at the moment-fake a relationship with a former fling. Not to mention Sonny’s sexy lopsided smile, the roll of his Scottish accent, and the fact that his dog loved her best.īut then he took a job in Wisconsin, leaving Cricket in California to reassemble the shattered pieces of her heart.Ī year later, Sonny is back, and he’s obviously moved on with the gorgeous woman at his side. Their all-night conversations and all-morning love sessions. For four years Cricket Stone thought he was her soulmate.

Inspired by the song “Exile” by Taylor Swift and Bon Iver. But now they have to work together, and it’s getting harder to lie.

When a small town girl crosses paths with her Scottish ex, she fakes a relationship to pretend she’s over him.
