Amazon's Best Romances of January · Buzzfeed's Romance Books To Look Out For In 2023

When a couple starts to feel like they’re married to a stranger, a flirtatious game of pretend becomes the spark they need to reignite their relationship.

Eliza and Graham are anticipating an anything-but-sexy, weeklong getaway to celebrate their five-year anniversary. Nestled on the Northern California coastline, the resort prides itself on being a destination for those in love and those looking to find it. For Eliza and Graham, it might as well be a vacation with a roommate.

When a well-meaning guest mistakes Eliza and Graham for being single and introduces them at the hotel bar, they don’t correct him. Suddenly, they’re pretending to be perfect strangers and it’s unexpectedly…fun? Eliza and Graham find themselves flirting like it’s their first date, and waiting with butterflies in their stomach for the other to text back.

Everyone at the retreat can sense the electric chemistry between Eliza and Graham’s alter egos. But when their scintillating game of roleplaying ends, will they still feel the heat?

    The first two chapters of this book really made me think it'd have me in tears by the end, but it didn't. I thought we'd get a really deep exploration of these characters' marriage and why it had ended up on the rocks; sure, we got a bit of that, but it never felt as deep, as gut-wrenching, as heartbreaking as I wanted it to be. A lot of time was spent on the charade that Eliza and Graham indulge in on their vacation, pretending to be total strangers, and I really think that may have been where it lost me a bit. We spent so much time with Vacation Planner Eliza and Investment Banker Graham that I felt a bit behind the 8-ball on Real Eliza and Real Graham. Don't get me wrong, I don't think this book was bad in any way. I just wanted something really intensely emotional and this wasn't it.
