Would you rather play it safe in the friend zone, or risk it all with a modern marriage of convenience?
Noah and Mia have always been best friends, and their friendship is the most important thing to them. Life is going great for Noah and he’s up for a promotion in a job he loves.
But Mia’s life is on hold as she awaits a kidney transplant. She’s stuck in a dead-end job and, never wanting to be a burden, has sworn off all romance. So when the chance of a lifetime comes to go back to school and pursue her dream, it’s especially painful to pass up. She can’t quit her job or she’ll lose the medical insurance she so desperately needs.
To support her, Noah suggests they get married—in name only—so she can study full-time and still keep the insurance. It’s a risk to both of them, with jobs, health and hearts on the line, and they’ll need to convince suspicious coworkers and nosy roommates that they’re the real deal.
But if they can let go of all the baggage holding them back, they might realize that they would rather be together forever.

How did I find both characters simultaneously boring and yet melodramatic? It boggles the mind.
Solid Friends To Lovers Romance. This is one of those books that takes a legitimately serious issue - insurance, insurance fraud, and organ transplants - and spins a charming and fun romance around it. Ashley manages to weave the ultra-serious in with the frivolous to great effect, enhancing both the seriousness and the fun while leaning more into the fun and romance. Overall a truly fun book, and a solid one for its end-of-summer release time frame. Very much recommended.
4.5/5
Wow, this book was amazing. The characters were well-written and I appreciate the way Mia's illness was written. My grandpa had kidney problems too so I know how horrible that might be. While the medical expenses seems ridiculous since I'm not American, it gave those two a reason to marry.
Their backstory was tragic but it made them who they are. Poor Noah, blaming himself for Nathan's death. And Mia, finding out about adoption like that.
I loved that while both of them had fears keeping them from following their dreams, they both gre up, together and separately, to face their fears and became stronger for it. The last 30% turned me into a sobbing mess but it was healing, mostly. I loved that book.
