A Not So Meet Cute by Meghan Quinn is a riotous, spicy rom-com that’s like a lovechild of Pretty Woman and The Proposal with extra sass. Lottie Gardner’s life is a hot mess—fired from her job, dumped by her boyfriend, and stuck living with her mom in L.A. Desperate to one-up her high school nemesis at a reunion, she blurts out that she’s engaged to a rich guy. Enter Huxley Cane, a cocky, billionaire real estate mogul who overhears her lie and offers a deal: play his fake fiancée to seal a business deal, and he’ll bankroll her dreams. Their enemies-to-lovers vibe is pure fire—Lottie’s snarky, take-no-crap attitude clashes with Hux’s control-freak charm, leading to hilarious fake-dating shenanigans, like awkward couple yoga and steamy “practice” kisses. The 414-page standalone is packed with laugh-out-loud banter, a quirky cast (hello, Lottie’s sister!), and enough heat to melt your Kindle, though some fans say the third-act drama feels forced or Hux’s grumpiness drags. BookTok’s obsessed with lines like “I’m not your sweetheart,” and it’s a perfect guilty-pleasure read that launches the Cane Brothers series.

Who Should Read It? This is for rom-com fans who love fake-engagement and enemies-to-lovers tropes, readers craving The Hating Game or The Fine Print vibes, or anyone into Meghan Quinn’s signature humor and spice. If you’re hooked on Elena Armas or Elle Kennedy and don’t mind triggers like workplace drama, family pressure, or explicit content, grab this for a fun, steamy binge, perfect for ages 17+. It’s a standalone, but sets up So Not Meant to Be. Check trigger warnings for sensitive content.
