What’s worse than lying to your boss? Probably lying to your boss about being married… and then having to prove it.
Now imagine your fake husband is your best friend’s insanely attractive, overly dramatic brother — and your boss signs you both up for marriage counseling. At a summer camp. With all your co-workers.

That’s right, this isn’t your average fake marriage. It’s a full-blown, laugh-till-you-cry, “what have I gotten myself into?” adventure that only Meghan Quinn could pull off.

the story

Scottie Price is the only woman on a team full of Brads and Chads, and all of them seem to have one thing in common: perfect marriages. So when small talk turns into a ring-checking session at the office, Scottie panics — and blurts out that she’s married too.

One problem: she’s not.

Cue the panic spiral. Cue the lies. Cue the “oh no, now my boss wants me to meet with his marriage counselor husband.”

With no other choice, Scottie’s best friend ropes in his brother Wilder — a wildly confident, improv-obsessed millionaire who treats life like one big “yes, and.” Before Scottie knows it, she’s not only pretending to be married but also bunking in a cabin with her fake husband at a couples’ retreat filled with trust exercises, awkward intimacy games, and way too much emotional vulnerability.

And that’s when the real sparks start flying.

my review

This book is what I like to call “emotionally nutritious” — a full meal of laughter, chemistry, and genuine heart. You’ll go in expecting chaos (because, hello, fake marriage + summer camp), but what you actually get is a surprisingly profound exploration of communication and self-love.

The first few chapters had me howling — that kind of secondhand embarrassment that makes you slap the book shut just to recover for a second. Meghan Quinn is so good at turning awkwardness into gold. Every misstep Scottie makes is painfully relatable — like, who among us hasn’t overcompensated in a new environment? But then she goes and builds a whole imaginary husband out of it, and suddenly you’re cringing and cheering at the same time.

And then there’s Wilder. Oh, Wilder.
He’s the perfect mix of chaos and comfort — the kind of hero who doesn’t swoop in to save her but instead makes her feel safe enough to save herself. His charm isn’t in grand gestures but in the little moments: the teasing banter, the quiet reassurance, the way he sees Scottie when she’s trying so hard to keep her walls up. He’s goofy and grounded and the exact brand of emotionally available chaos I didn’t know I needed.

But here’s what truly surprised me — beneath the banter and flirty tension, this book actually dives into mental health, emotional baggage, and the way we sometimes perform happiness instead of living it. There are moments where Scottie’s mask slips, and you catch a glimpse of the vulnerability underneath — and those moments hit hard.

It’s not all sunshine and flirtation at camp, either. The therapy sessions (yes, plural) force Scottie and Wilder — and honestly, the reader — to sit with some uncomfortable truths. And yet it never feels heavy. Quinn has this magic trick where she can make you laugh through your tears and blush while confronting your own emotional blind spots.

There’s a quote in the book that stopped me in my tracks:

“This isn’t a story about me falling in love with another human. This is a story about me falling in love with myself.”

That’s it. That’s the heart of the book. It’s not just about faking love until you make it — it’s about learning that real love can’t exist until you start believing you deserve it.

By the time I reached the end, I wasn’t just smiling at Scottie and Wilder’s journey — I was thinking about my own communication habits, my own walls. (And yes, I laughed out loud at least ten times. The “don’t drop the soap” scene? Iconic.)

quotes

“But instead of formulating the well-executed meet cute where I run into a man in front of an office building, spilling my coffee all over myself only to have him dab at my bosom with his solid blue tie, I’m going to change the story. This isn’t a story about me falling in love with another human. This is a story about me falling in love with myself.”

This moment shows up early in the story, right when Scottie is questioning every part of her life — her breakup, her job, her confidence, all of it. She’s been clinging to the idea that her “happily ever after” has to start with a picture-perfect meet-cute.
But here, she finally admits that the story she needs isn’t about a man at all.
It’s about her stepping into her own worth.
This line sets the tone for her entire arc.

“If there’s one thing I don’t want you to ever experience again, it’s that feeling of insignificance. I’m in awe of you, and I know with certainty that I want to be a better man… for you. You deserve to be worshipped, so I’m going to prove that I can be the man who can do that. I’m going to prove that and more to you.”

This happens during one of their deeper conversations, when Scottie’s insecurities are peeking through and she’s starting to believe she’s too much or not enough.
Wilder — in that unexpectedly gentle way of his — grounds her.
It’s the first time he pulls back the humor and shows his real feelings, hinting that she matters far more to him than their fake arrangement.
It’s vulnerable, honest, and a tiny bit life-changing for her.

“Don’t you dare say it,” Wilder says, shaking his head. “Don’t you fucking dare.”
I run my tongue over my teeth and very slowly and deliberately say, “Bologna.”
His nostrils flare. His chest heaves.
“You son of a bitch.”

This quote comes from a totally unhinged, laugh-out-loud exchange during one of their signature banter sessions.
Scottie knows exactly how to push Wilder’s buttons, and Wilder reacts like a man who is two seconds away from losing it — but in the funniest way possible.
It’s one of those scenes that proves why their chemistry works:
they irritate each other, adore each other, and spin absolute comedic gold together.
