Set the Record Straight
Set the Record Straight | Hannah Bonam-Young
2 posts | 2 read | 1 to read
A fake dating, childhood friends to lovers, bisexual-awakening, holiday romance.
The day Clara started her new (dream) job as an assistant to her photography idol, she was met with an assumption that caught her off guard and stunned her silent. suddenly, she has to bring a girlfriend to the gallery's opening in a few weeks- all because she choked up and failed to correct her boss that she is, in fact, straight.
Evan was recently dumped by her fellow teacher fiancée for a mutual co-worker and is still trying to figure out where it all went wrong. So when she gets the news the happy new couple will be hosting the staff's holiday party- she feels utterly horrified by her single status and looks for a quick solution.
Together, these two old friends make a plan to get through the gallery opening and holiday party by pretending to date one another. Easy... right?
That is until Clara starts developing real feelings for Evan, shocking herself. All the while Evan realizes that perhaps pretending to date your straight best friend, who you've had a crush on for half your life- isn't the best idea.

This was not your normal fake dating romance. Two childhood best friends agree to fake date for the holiday but quickly realize their feelings are real. The story is more focused on Clara discovering her demisexuality after always believing she was straight, and Evan's struggle to feel accepted because of her autism and past experience with her homophobic parents. I really enjoyed it.

Post holiday mood 😹
I've been balancing chores and reading today but managed to finish two books in progress and watch Love Actually with my guy. Now I just need to get caught up on many reviews from the past week
