The Break Up Pact by Emma Lord is a friends-to-enemies-to-friends-to-lovers fake dating rom com. Yes, that’s a lot. But that is basically the history of the FMC and MMC. It follows two childhood friends who reunite after years of distance and end up in a fake dating situation.

I thought this was a cute read. It’s a light romcom with some funny moments and a little bit of spice. At times if felt a bit slow, however i did feel very invested in the characters journey and I wanted them to have a “happily ever after.” This is the first book I’ve read by this author, and I would continue to read more based on my experience with this one.

Additionally, in regards to the audiobook version of this book, I thought the narrator was good. She captured the feelings and tone of the book and conveyed it well.

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher, and author for granting me an audio ARC in return for my honest review. The Break Up Pact is expected to be published on August 13, 2024.
