Till Summer Do Us Part by Meghan Quinn
I got what I wanted. I became buddy-buddy with my boss in an instant. But the cost will be hefty . . . finding a husband by tomorrow.
Scottie Price just started a new job, and it’s a real sausage fest. She’s the only woman on a team filled with Brads and Chads. Expecting a bachelor pad atmosphere, she is quickly corrected when she finds out everyone is happily married.In an effort to impress her boss, Scottie mentions her non-existent husband in a company meeting. But eagle-eyed Chad points out her lack of wedding ring. Panicked, Scottie creates a story about her unhappy marriage. Unfortunately for Scottie, her boss has a solution – a one-on-one session with the best marriage counsellor in the Northeast, who happens to be her boss’s husband.
With no way out of her lie, Scottie agrees to see him. Frantic, she calls in help from her best friend who sets her up with his brother, an improv-obsessed millionaire.
Enter Wilder Wells. More than happy to take on the job, he teaches Scottie the main rule of always say yes. But the rule backfires during the session when Wilder signs them up for an eight-day summer marriage camp with all of Scottie’s co-workers where she’ll have to share a cabin with her way-too-handsome fake husband.

The Reason
Apparently I put myself on the waitlist for this book some time ago, so I was surprised when I finally got it! It sounds like something I’d love though, fake dating and forced proximity.
The Quotes
“This isn’t a story about me falling in love with another human. This is a story about me falling in love with myself.”
“You know, as Sabrina Carpenter would say, we have really good bed chem.”
“There isn’t one person on this earth who hasn’t opened a metaphorical suitcase and dumped in it. No life is perfect, no journey unmarred. Everyone’s carrying around something.”
“Then maybe it’s time you stop trying to save face and start living without a care. Throw caution to the wind. Do things you may never have done before…”
My Thoughts
This book is just fun. It is completely unrealistic, so silly, and a total HR sexual harrassment nightmare, but I had so much fun reading it (all the while snickering and shaking my head at the silliness) that I finished it in one sitting. I love the chemistry between Scottie and Wilder, their banter is so much fun, and the way Wilder improvised his role in their fake dating scheme made me laugh out loud at parts. I can’t take this book seriously, even as a romance, because the scenario is just so improbable and over the top, but I needed fun and light, and it gave me fun and light. Now I’m craving some more romance, maybe some better ones!
