About this listen
A waitress masquerading as an influencer and a wildlife photographer are on a collision course with romance—and chaos—in Hate to Fake It to You, a zany modern twist on a screwball comedy classic about figuring out what you really want—by pretending to be someone you’re not.
Everyone gets a glow-up on social media, but for Libby Lane, it’s more than filters and cherry-picked content. Her online persona, Lillibet, is the fakest of fakes: the affluent, healthier-than-thou opposite of her glam-free life on the side of Oahu most tourists never see, cooked up by Libby and her best friends under the influence of free wine and career desperation. The phony fronting is all in good fun, until a real influencer stumbles onto the Love, Lillibet Instagram feed and starts making waves.
When Hildy Johnson, the ambitious junior member of a media dynasty, travels to Hawaii to talk to “Lillibet” about parlaying her lifestyle brand into a job, Libby and her friends scramble to take the make-believe to a new level. Complicating the charade even further is Hildy’s handsome companion, a wildlife photographer whose keen eye sees more than he lets on, and Jefferson has Libby directly in his sights. Between the pretend husband, borrowed goats, a made-up holiday, and Libby’s very real attraction to Jefferson, it’s anyone’s guess which lie will blow their cover first… especially since “Lillibet” isn’t the only one with something to hide.

Story
Separated by 10 years, 3,000 miles, and the unrelenting stresses of adulthood, best friends Janet and Serena plan a 40th birthday girls’ trip to reconnect. But after a massive crash, they’re the only survivors to wash ashore on an uncharted Caribbean Island. Armed with only the clothes on their backs and zero survival skills, they fight to overcome hunger, thirst, deadly wildlife—and most terrifyingly—decades of accrued resentment. Can they find their way home, or will they kill each other first?

Story
Lucas knows the perfect night entails just three things: video games, wine, and pad thai. Peanuts are a must! Other people? Not so much. Why complicate things when he’s happy alone? Then one day the apartment board, a vexing trio of authority, rings his doorbell. And Lucas’s solitude takes a startling hike. They demand to see his frying pan. Someone left one next to the recycling room overnight, and instead of removing the errant object, as Lucas suggests, they insist on finding the guilty party. But their plan backfires. Colossally.

Story
A bad best man’s speech can ruin a wedding. Why do we plan every detail of a perfect day and then give the groom’s idiot best friend five minutes of total power? Enter Nate (Glen Powell), a speechwriter-for-hire who helps people write incredible best man speeches. To keep the best man from embarrassing himself (and the newlyweds), Nate uses his list of don’ts: Don’t mention the exes, don’t be rated R, and don’t bum everyone out. Nate’s system never fails. That is, until he meets Dan (Nicholas Braun).

Story
Alice's journey begins as all good journeys do: hitting on the sales guy at REI. After a tumultuous breakup, a quick career transition, family upheaval, and a sobriety journey that didn't fix her life quite as much as she expected it to, Alice decides that the only way to solve all her problems is to hike the Pacific Crest Trail. But as she begins preparing for the months-long quest, she realizes the answers she's seeking might not be on top of a snow-covered mountain. Especially since she just learned there was snow in California.

Homage to the north shore
I adored the Hawaiian cultural references. The characters all seemed like real people, the romance was lovely and the slapstick was on point!

Laughter with wit, wisdom, friendship and love.
It’s amazing what friends can talk you into! I feel like I just finished a wild ride filled with hysterical characterizations, impossible situations, witty dialogue, true friendship and even true love. Perfect for a summer beach read if you’re not embarrassed about laughing out loud in front of strangers. Add to this the lovely island setting and a reader who is perfect for the job and you have an enjoyable experience..

What a treat!
Let me first admit that my normal reading/listening fare has characters named Gabriel (Allon) or Jack (Reacher or Ryan) in them. But, since I felt like I needed a breather between these, and since I spent two years of my misspent youth on Oahu, I was intrigued by this book, its colorful front cover, and the glowing reviews on the back. (Since it's much easier for me to incorporate audiobooks into my daily life, I went that way, which, as you will see below, was a great idea!)
I found the writing in this pleasant "beach read" to be absolutely delightful. Witty, playfully sarcastic, delightfully colorful. The detailed descriptions of Hawaian locations brought back a rush of memories - - exotic shave ice, sunsets, swaying trees in the tropical breeze. I really enjoyed the characters the author brought to life - - great personalities (for the most part!), superbly captured interactions between them, wonderful environmental descriptions. Perhaps most impressive in that regard were the "dramatic" scenes between the characters, whether romantic or confrontational. They (and their supporting dialog) were masterfully and believably crafted, at least to this non-trad romance reader! To say in a different way, I felt "drawn-in" to the story line.
The bonus for the Audible version for me was the sweet relief of having a reader that not only had a great sense of comic timing, but also correctlly pronounced the Hawaiian place and "thing" names. (Can't tell you how many good books I've had ruined by klutzy readers!)
I will readily admit that the sense of humor displayed here (as well as some of the lingo, (which I know because of multiple children and grandchildren), could be lost on certain readers. But, if you want clever, intelligent humor, with a sweet, odd-ball love story, I strongly suggest you give this a try!
