Book Review: "I'm So (Not) Over You" by Kosoko Jackson

Fake boyfriends don’t always equal fake feelings.

“The first rule, and only rule, of getting over your ex is not to answer your ex’s messages.”

Kian knows this, but when his ex-boyfriend Hudson calls, he still can’t resist. And when they get together, he can’t believe Hudson says he wants to get back together with Kian…for a few days, tops. It seems that Hudson never told his parents that he and Kian broke up, and they’re coming to town.

Of course, Kian agrees to help Hudson, but it’s not long before their scheme gets a little more complicated, and he finds himself invited to be Hudson’s guest at a fancy wedding. It’s not all selflessness on Kian’s part—he’s hoping he can network with some media bigwigs, which might be the jumpstart his journalism career needs.

The more they pretend, the more they realize maybe their feelings run deeper than that. But will they run into the same problems they did the last time, or have they changed? And are they willing to try again or are they better off just walking away?

I love fake dating and second-chance romances, so this was a fun read. The banter between the characters is so fun and sexy, and while I didn’t necessarily love everything the characters did, I really rooted for them. It’s not often you get a Black Queer love story, so that was a definite plus.
