Book Review: The Break-up Pact
Book: The Break-up Pact
Author: Emma Lord

Thank you NetGalley and Macmillan Audio for an advanced audio copy.
June and Levi were best friends when they were younger but had since grown apart. Recently they had both gone through some very public breakups.
June owns a tea shop by the beach and is struggling to make ends meet. Levi is a hedge fund manager in New York City and a failed author. He comes back into town to try and make amends as well as try and get back into writing.
June and Levi start talking again and end up having pictures of them posted on the internet which go viral. Due to that June’s tea shop business starts taking off with lines out the door to get in. They decide to make a break-up pact to help benefit both of them, Levi with his ex and June with her tea shop.
I thought this fake dating trope was done very well in this story. I enjoyed both stories of June and Levi, it did have some serious moments but it was well handled.
Final Score 4/5
