Dreams before the start of time by Anne Charnock

I received the book from NetGalley.
Hmm. Where to start. I don't like to get bad reviews to books. I am also a writer... well trying to be, and I don't wan't to insult someone who put effort and time in making something. But I also want to be honest. So no offence.
Frankly I didn't like it. I have going into book thinking is something else, then facing disappointment when my expectations aren't met.
I could no connect to the story, to the characters. Had to give up in the middle.
Maybe it is just not the book for me. I am not fan of contemporary book, and this was a bit to close to that.
Anie.

Cat Jones is happy with her sheltered quiet life until her mom's crazy friends challenge her to say yes to everything for a month. Her first response is definitely no, but somehow she is convinced to give it a try. The first thing she says yes to is a nightly swim in the cold sea with a group of colourful characters. Next is to host a very popular daily show along the TV royalty, offered by a hot TV executive. She not only changes her life, one yes at a time but also inspires her two best friends to go along with her. I love this book! I was sucked into the story from the very start and had to read it in one swoop.  It tells the story of how saying yes to life, can change it fundamentally. Cat goes through huge personal growth, finding new friendships, transforming old ones, and new jobs and meets all kinds of people along the way, along with a TV executive who makes her heart flutter.  The story is funny, inspirational with lots of friendships of all varieties and a little bit of

Penny is a teacher at an elementary school. Her mother is spending a few months with her aunt and she is looking for a summer job. She gets a job as a secretary for a gaming company, while her friend is on maternity leave. What she didn't expect is for her boss to be so rude, or so hot. And before she knows it, she is on his private plane and he is asking her to pretend to be engaged to him for a week. Jace is the owner of a gaming company. He is insanely busy, always working. He hasn't been to a family reunion in years. So this year he hired someone to pretend to be his fiance, to get his family off his back. When she cancels last minute, he asks his new assistant to fill the role.  It was hard to pretend at first, but all too soon it all starts to feel very real. They fall hard for each other. It's steamy, and romantic, with a touch of instant love, family time and a whole lot of fun. :) I listened to the story, the narrator was awesome. :)  rating❤❤❤❤ ❤ cover❤❤❤ ❤ ❤ book
