The Fantasy League (The League)

Product Information

But I do how to say, it's very fast-paced. I was on chapter two last night at like midnight and was able to finish it today at two pm. So, you could imagine Scarlett Sawyer's surprise when he asked her to go from personal chef to pretend girlfriend on the day of her resignation.

again why keeping the sibling thing a secret???? literally no one gave a shit about them being related And again, authors should seriously understand that being enemies and not liking eachother are two completely different things. They kept saying that the despised eachother and that they were eachother's nemesis or arch enemies when all it was was a misunderstanding that occurred in the second grade when they were just seven. I get that what happened did hurt her feelings but it's been over a decade since that incident and she should've seriously gotten over it. Now, for reasons still unclear to me, his coach tells him he needs to find a fake girlfriend (for…PR? For…matchmaking? For…practice in speaking to others?). I do not understand this, but we will move on for the sake of the other atrocities that take place in this. at the beginning he threw away all the food she cooked him bc she made him so nervous he couldn't eat?? When she burned the dress.... you better believe I took a moment to meditate on that level of pettiness... I truly hope to achieve it one day.idk if it’s on purpose to focus more on the romance aspect but they’re supposedly grown adults with actual careers but it almost always feels like they’re college kids. who skip class often. it genuinely feels like even from the beginning, their whole lives revolve around each other which just feels off to me bc there was no structured timeline & like i said, a whole mess. The only question was, would an enigma from Abel's recent past tear them apart for good or bring them closer together than ever?

one of my pet peeve is when a newer book is eerily similar to an older book, and this one just felt too much like The Wall of Winnipeg; from the plot, to the characters … it was like getting deja vu. while the book wasn’t entirely the same, i just had a hard time separating the two. And the ending…the ending elicited an audible groan from me. ( he proposes, she says yes, they have a shotgun wedding the next day, then cheerfully try for babies, all cocooned in some of the worst writing, and *twitching members* I have ever had the misfortune to read). Scarlett Sawyer was surprised when Abel Abbott asked her to pretend to be his girlfriend on her resignation day. She accepted, but the lines between ruse and reality became blurred. The question is whether Abel’s recent past will tear them apart or bring them closer together.He was generally a happy person and a decent person, but when it came to being in the presence of October Calhoun, their pleasant demeanor was shot to shit. This was due to their hatred of October, who had invariably decided for both of them that their feud of the past couple decades was “slow moving with no point of contention” without consulting the narrator.The narrator had a pivotal moment with their arch nemesis, October, and that he was calling in a favor for his benefit. The narrator had an innate feeling that today was going to be a great day, but realized that it would be trampled over when they realized that he was turning their proudest moments around onto himself. The narrator had grown to loathe October because he always turned their proudest moments around onto himself.He fell so hard from the start and that was right up my alley😮‍💨 Congrats to Abel being my first ever book boyfriend (that I can recall) with the name Abel. Both the main character Mae and the love interest October were very immature and they should just get a life. Mae met him when she was 5 years old and developed a crush on him, but due to a misunderstanding, they both started to hate each other, always competed with each other, and argued. After high school, they went on to build their careers and met 7 years later. I hope y'all who gave this book a high rating, found a sense in the whole shitshow bc I surely had not. The book felt very rushed at it genuinely had no purpose what so ever. And I also can't get over the weird names he called her.

this so sweet, cute, romantic, and freaking slooooowburn. the first time they do the deed was around 84% of the book. they fooled around but the actual act happened almost at the end of the book. anyway, it was adorable reading how they are very sweet and caring with each other or how they are "fake" dating but none of what they do screams fake. they were both attracted to each other and are both slowly falling while still being in this ruse, and it was satisfying and swoony to read. the thoughtfulness of these mcs are so endearing and i'm here for all of it. he shushed her out of the house bc it was coming over her new found sister, whom she thought was her gf/ex and for what??? literally no purpose for this motive Scarlett's no became a tentative yes, and somewhere in the midst of their charade, the lines between ruse and reality became blurred.

Check-In

One would‘ve thought that after two decades of knowing each other, we’d have worked through our animosity toward one another by now. I’m gonna be a bitch just to save a lot of you your time and list a few reasons why this book was a 1 star read for me: both MC have a change in their manners that I really had to think and read again if i changed book all of a sudden Maybe I'll change my rating later once I get enough time to think about it but for now this is how it is.
