Review: Marriage on Madison Avenue

Marriage on Madison Avenue by Lauren Layne
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This is the third book in this series about three women who discover that they have all been sleeping with the same man: his wife, his mistress and his girlfriend. On the day of his funeral they meet for the first time and make a pact to support each other and prevent them from entering into another disastrous relationship.

This book features Audrey Tate, a social media influencer, and Clarke West. They have been BFFs since they were at school and nothing is ever going to change that. Heck Clarke frequently announces his engagement to Audrey to deflect over-eager girlfriends, or in this case to stop his pushy mother matchmaking him with his ex-girlfriend. At first this fake engagement is no different to the others, then Audrey's past catches up to her and she decides that prolonging the fake engagement could help her profile. Soon the fake engagement gathers a life of its own with an engagement party, cake-tasting and trying on wedding dresses. But the longer they fake it the more they realise this engagement feels more like the real thing than anything they've ever done.

This was cute and fun, I love the friends to lovers trope, and the fake engagement trope so mixing the two together with Manhattan and social media in a sexy cocktail is just so satisfying. Light, funny, frothy and sweet this was a perfect light-hearted read.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
