4.5 Stars.What a great story.This book is so much more than its synopsis. Yes we all know the story of Pygmalion and the many deviations there have been on film and in books over the years. Lauren Layne has given us a funny, emotional, heart-warming and heart-breaking read.Ethan and Stephanie are complete polar opposites; they are both dealing with past hurts, neither one of them really addressing their issues, but for some reason the urge to talk with the other about their issues is strong. They both struggle to understand their feelings for each other as they develop, and try to fight them,  because let’s face it a blacked out Goth and a preppy rich boy shouldn’t  be attracted to each other really……or should they, even if it is just meant to be pretend?The dual POV in this book makes it laugh out loud hilarious in parts, and I don’t recommend you try and read it secretly while you pretend to work. I had to hide several snort/laughs from my boss with an impromptu coughing fit, especially in the first half of the book. Ethan’s internal monologue and his verbal sparring with Stephanie is some of the funniest writing I have read for a while.Lauren Layne is firmly on my “Author To Watch” radar after reading Isn’t She Lovely, although it isn’t the first book I have read and loved by this exceptionally talented author , I know it definitely won’t be the last.ARC provided by Netgalley, and it was my pleasure to provide the above review.
