Faking It

Faking It, Book 1

By: Elisa Lorello

Narrated by: Cynthia Barrett

After breaking off her engagement, 30-something Andi Cutrone yields New England to her ex and flees home to Long Island. There, she devotes her time to teaching in the writing program at Brooklyn University and overanalyzing her past failed relationships. But then she meets Devin, a male escort whose client list seems to include at least half of the accomplished women she knows. He is handsome, charismatic, and absolutely out of her league, but she can’t deny he has a certain…something. And so Andi makes him a proposition: If he will teach her to shed her sexual inhibitions, she will teach him to be a writer. He agrees, and together they embark upon an intense partnership that proves to be every bit as instructive as it is arousing.

For in the midst of lessons in rhetorical theory and foreplay, Andi and Devin delve into deeper questions about truth, beauty, and self, stripping away the emotional walls each has built up. Smart, witty, and introspective, Faking It is an engrossing novel about two people discovering their authentic selves.

I learned, loved and laughed

I found this a delicious and humorous read. Love the cast of relateable characters. If you want to learn to respect yourself and to write, then this is the book for you.

interesting

this was a really good story. although im not sure how i felt about the ending.

Roller coaster story

Some parts of the story I absolutely loved.... but others I really didn’t like at all so it was a rollercoster story for me.
And I still can’t figure out what I think about the ending. I want to like it, but I think deep down it wasn’t the ending I wanted.

Hmmm…

Because it was a free listen, I listened. The narrator or did not put me to sleep however very monotone even with the attempts and differentiating between Boston and NY accents.

Storyline: interesting and different however the main character was so damn whiny I wanted to stop the book by chapter 5 but because I don’t like not completing a book and I pressed on. This book did not truly ‘per up’ in my opinion until chapter 18 (yes I’m that person who hates to give up!).

Would I recommend?: nah not really.

However I see there is a part 2 of this protagonist and it sounds interesting. Am I a glutton for punishment? Maybe.

NOT A ROMANCE

This book was decent up until about half way through. Then it went bad. If you are looking for a romance DON'T get this book. If you are looking for a story that will leave you dissatisfied then this is the book for you.
