#BookReview: Well, Actually by Mazey Eddings

Book Cover
Synopsis: Eva Kitt never expected to be the host of Sausage Talk, interviewing B-list celebrities over lukewarm hot dogs, instead of pursuing the journalism career she dreamed of. But when Eva’s impromptu public call out of her college ex goes viral, she’s thrust into the spotlight. It doesn’t help said ex is Rylie Cooper, a beloved social media personality that has built a platform on deconstructing toxic masculinity and teaching men how to be good partners.

Forced to confront Rylie on a live episode of Sausage Talk, he offers Eva a deal: allow him to take her on a series of dates to make up for his toxic behavior, then debrief them on his channel to show he’s changed. Eva refuses to play nice, but agrees to the scheme to advance her own career and continue defaming Rylie’s good name. When these manufactured dates start to feel real, Eva has to wonder if the boy that broke her heart has become the man that might heal it.

My Review:

This one had such a fun, contemporary premise, and I liked the mix of romance with social media antics. Eva was witty and relatable, and the whole “fake dating/online exposure” setup made for some entertaining moments.

The chemistry between Eva and Rylie had its highs, and there were definitely moments that made me smile or laugh. I appreciated the commentary on social media and accountability—it added a layer beyond just the romance.

That said, it didn’t fully click for me. Some parts felt predictable, and the pacing dragged in spots, making the story feel a little uneven. A few plot points could have been fleshed out more, and while it was enjoyable, it didn’t leave a lasting impression.

Overall, a light, amusing read with some clever moments, but not quite unforgettable.
