I Love You, Hypothetically
About
"Readers who enjoy romantic comedies with plenty of sparks and witty banter should give this novel a try. It had me smiling long after I turned the final page." - Jennifer Senick, reviewer with Readers' Favorite.
It all started the night before the big lie…
Piper West never meant to invent a relationship with her neighbor. But after one too many questions from her family—and one too many smug comments from her office rival—blurting out that she’s dating Josh Burke suddenly feels like the perfect solution.
There’s just one problem: Josh has no idea he’s her fake boyfriend.
At least, not until Piper ropes the calm, ridiculously attractive next-door neighbor into playing along for a company party. Soon, the two are tangled in a web of staged affection, shared secrets, and chemistry that feels anything but pretend.
But fake dating gets messy when real feelings enter the picture.
As Piper and Josh grow closer, the line between performance and reality begins to disappear. And when fear, miscommunication, and the truth behind “the big lie” threaten to ruin everything, Piper must decide whether protecting herself is worth losing the one person who ever made pretending feel real.
I Love You, Hypothetically is a sparkling romantic comedy about love, vulnerability, and what happens when the story you make up turns into the one thing you can’t live without.
Praise for this book
Once I began reading I Love You, Hypothetically by Stacy Goforth, I was completely hooked. The writing expertly blends humor and romance with emotion. All three play an equally important role in the plot. The dialogue flows naturally, and the characters seem like people I could actually know. Piper's voice is funny, relatable, and wonderfully chaotic. She had me laughing one minute, then feeling genuinely sad the next. She also had great chemistry with her best friend, Holly. Their friendship felt real, and their sharp wit and rapid-fire exchanges reminded me of Lorelai and Sookie from Gilmore Girls. They add energy and balance the more serious moments. That said, the growing connection between Piper and Josh was my favorite part of the book. I couldn't wait to see what happened next for them. Readers who enjoy romantic comedies with plenty of sparks and witty banter should give this novel a try. It had me smiling long after I turned the final page.
