Having an affair might not always mean being unfaithful . . .
This was a cute, quick rom-com that I devoured. The characters were great, the dual POV was interesting, and the premise hooked me right away.
Tara and Colin have been together for about 6 years, but are starting to feel things getting stale or boring in their relationship. They are taking each other for granted and starting to resent each other. This book also brought up the topic of IVF. I think they handled this very tactfully. When Tara and Colin first met they were madly in love. But then they tried to have kids and were having issues and everything went a bit sideways.
Tara works for an advertising firm and she wants to be taken more seriously. She doesn’t want to land the “female” only jobs so she decides to pitch a hook-up app that is for married couples. Some of her male coworkers aren’t quite sure if she can think like a bad girl. So she decides to download the app for research.
Colin has been working for his friend at his law firm. His friend is a bit of a player and is aware of the Fling app right away. When his friend sees Colin struggling he suggests that Colin go on the app because you can’t send pics of your face and he needs the ego boost. So he does it, but reluctantly. Then he matches VERY highly with someone.
This book reminded me of You’ve Got Mail. I was a little nervous about the cheating aspect, but I really did enjoy this cute rom-com! I had guessed the ending pretty early on, but so see how it all played out was the interesting and funny part. I laughed a lot during this book.
