From subway to Broadway to happily ever after. Modern love in all its thrill, hilarity, and uncertainty has never been so compulsively readable as in New York Times bestselling author Christina Lauren’s romantic novel.
Marriages of convenience are so...inconvenient.
For months Holland Bakker has invented excuses to descend into the subway station near her apartment, drawn to the captivating music performed by her street musician crush. Lacking the nerve to actually talk to the gorgeous stranger, fate steps in one night in the form of a drunken attacker. Calvin Mcloughlin rescues her, but quickly disappears when the police start asking questions.
Using the only resource she has to pay the brilliant musician back, Holland gets Calvin an audition with her uncle, Broadway’s hottest musical director. When the tryout goes better than even Holland could have imagined, Calvin is set for a great entry into Broadway—until his reason for disappearing earlier becomes clear: he’s in the country illegally, his student visa having expired years ago.
Seeing that her uncle needs Calvin as much as Calvin needs him, a wild idea takes hold of her. Impulsively, she marries the Irishman, her infatuation a secret only to him. As their relationship evolves and Calvin becomes the darling of Broadway—in the middle of the theatrics and the acting-not-acting—will Holland and Calvin to realize that they both stopped pretending a long time ago?

My 5 star review
I devoured this book in less than two hours. I simply could not get enough of these adorable characters.
Also I am a HUGE fan of Christina Lauren. I totally stalk them on social media too.
Holland is this young woman who feels like her life has no purpose in New York. She is from a small town and grew up on a farm. Curtis is this young guitar player who plays for the love of music more than the money.
When these two meet their worlds are turned upside down. Or shall I say when Curtis finally meets Holland his world is turned upside down.
This is the cutest story ever and you will be devoted till the end, I promise you. I felt as if my whole life was vested in these two characters.
I promise you will love it and them as well. Oh my...I can't even tell you how much you will love her Uncle's Robert and Jeff. I mean I want them to adopt me!!!!
There isn't one bad thing about this read at all. I can assure that you will adore every word. If you are not a Christina Lauren fan you will be now. Oh and if you aren't as of yet, what is wrong with you. (Jk)
