Rachel´s Random Resources: Wed or Alive by Portia MacIntosh

For the (almost) middle of the last week of April, a funny romcom by the one and only Portia Macintosh is the right antidote to the blue feeling that maybe the times runs too fast and we are heading already towards the middle of the year.

Wed or Alive is a funny romcom, where people with complex life stories and professional and personal challenges meet. But what is really happening out of those encounters no one, but fate, can tell about it. 

Take Whitney, for instance, stuck professionally and in love with a roommate who is back from an extended vacation with a fiancée on his side. Or Jake, a cowboy with a lot of issues and under the pressure of high family expectations. But both of them have a plan that, as usual, may or may not work as initially expected. 

Although the stories of fake dating I´ve read to date are very much predictable, I still keep being surprised by the ways in which the fake is turning into a real, eventful love story.

I loved both the humour and the romance, with Whitney as my most relatable character in the story. As usual in the case of Macintosh´s novels, once I started the book it was quite difficult to give it up, but it was clearly a very good time investment.

Rating: 3.5 stars
