What makes it funny?
Their first encounter takes place while they're vomiting in neighboring bathroom stalls. Adrian's response to that unpromising introduction is to recruit Rowena as his pretend fiancée.
The comedy at work
Adrian and Rowena try to manage intimacy like a business project, even plotting their relationship on a spreadsheet. His luxurious apartment and staff make playing house comfortable, while their rules against falling in love grow harder to follow.
Try this if…
Fake engagements, forced proximity and an age gap drive this romance. The millionaire hero is paired with a software engineer whose immediate problems are unemployment and an unplanned pregnancy.
Good to know
Pregnancy is central from the start, and the bathroom meeting includes vomiting. Although characters return from an earlier Funny Feelings book, a NetGalley reviewer found their appearances easy for newcomers to follow.
