#BookReview: The Break-Up Pact by Emma Lord




ABOUT THIS BOOK:
Two best friends who haven’t spoken in ten years pretend to date after break-ups with their respective exes go viral, in this delightfully fun and deeply emotional novel.

June and Levi were best friends as teenagers—until the day they weren’t. Now June is struggling to make rent on her beachside tea shop, Levi is living a New York cliché as a disillusioned hedge fund manager and failed novelist, and they've barely spoken in years. 

But after they both experience public, humiliating break-ups with their exes that spread like wildfire across TikTok rabbit holes and daytime talk shows alike, they accidentally make some juicy gossip of their own—a photo of them together has the internet convinced they're a couple. With so many people rooting for them, they decide to put aside their rocky past and make a pact to fuel the fire. Pretending to date will help June’s shop get back on its feet and make Levi’s ex realize that she made a mistake. All they have to do is convince the world they're in love, one swoon-worthy photo opp at a time. 

Two viral break-ups. One fake relationship. Five sparkling, heart-pounding dates. June and Levi can definitely pull this off without their hearts getting involved. Because everyone knows fake dating doesn’t come with real feelings. Right?

REVIEW: 
I got about a handful of chapters into this book and I just simply could not buy into it. This novel starts with both our FMC and MMC having both gone viral on TikTok for a very public break up with other partners. There is also some unstated past between the main characters that had yet to be revealed. The FMC, June is telling the story about her failing bakery, and her best friend is also her landlord? Making things very difficult to follow. I also had to read the word scone about 10 times in two chapters and it just felt redundant. One star from me.
