Bok av Talia Hibbert
'Talia Hibbert is a rockstar! Her writing is smart, funny, and sexy' Meg CabotOne of Oprah Magazine's 21 Romance Novels That Are Set to Be the Best of 2020USA Today bestselling author Talia Hibbert returns with another charming romantic comedy about a young woman who agrees to fake date her friend after a video of him 'rescuing' her from their office building goes viral - perfect for fans of Sally Thorne, Jasmine Guillory and Helen Hoang! Danika Brown knows what she wants: professional success, academic renown and an occasional roll in the hay to relive all that career-driven tension. But romance? Been there, done that, burned the T-shirt. So Dani asks the universe for the perfect friend-with-benefits... When brooding security guard Zafir Ansari rescues her from a workplace fire drill gone wrong, it's an obvious sign: PhD student Dani and ex-rugby player Zaf are destined to sleep together. But before she can explain that fact, a video of the heroic rescue goes viral. Now half the internet is shipping #DrRugbae - and Zaf is begging Dani to play along. Dani's plan is simple: fake a relationship in public, seduce Zaf behind the scenes. But grumpy Zaf is secretly a romantic - and he's determined to corrupt Dani's stone-cold realism. With every fake date and midnight meeting, Dani's easy lay becomes more complex than her thesis. Has her wish backfired?

Boken handlar om phD-studenten Dani Brown som blir vän med sitt universitets säkerhetsvakt Zafir Ansari. När Zafir räddar Dani från en hiss under ett brandlarm och bär ut henne i famnen så tar någon en film på det hela och filmen blir viral. Med tanke på deras nya kändisskap så bestämmer de två sig för att fejka ett förhållande för att boosta uppmärksamheten för Zafirs välgörenhetsorganisation "tackle it".
Boken var bra och mysig, men kanske inget superminnesvärt. Den var också stundtals seg, men det kan också ha berott på att jag inte är så förtjust i att läsa på engelska. Jag gillar dock att Talia Hibberts böcker är så inkluderande på många olika plan, denna boken tar bland annat upp ångest och panikattacker, psykisk ohälsa och svarta kvinnor i forskarvärlden.
