Fake

About This Audiobook

Kylie Scott’s *Fake* is a glitter-bomb of fame, fortune, and the raw cracks behind the facade. At its core is a romance that unfolds like a scavenger hunt through high society’s underbelly, where billionaires don’t wear capes—they wear Armani and carry ego-sized egos. The chemistry between Layla, a no-nonsense single mom scrubbing floors for a living, and the infuriatingly charming Jackson Price—who’s more used to dodging paparazzi than doing his own laundry—is electric. Scott nails the push-pull dynamic: Layla’s skepticism of fame versus Jackson’s exhaustion with it. The plot zips between cringe-worthy tabloid moments and heartfelt vulnerability, keeping the tension high even when the stakes feel more emotional than life-or-death. It’s messy, it’s fun, and it’s refreshingly unapologetic about its fairy-tale-with-an-edge vibe.

What sets this apart is Scott’s knack for making the absurd feel grounded. The dialogue crackles with wit and authenticity, avoiding the pitfalls of either parody or melodrama. Andi Arndt’s narration is the secret sauce, balancing Jackson’s smoldering arrogance with Layla’s dry wit without overplaying either hand. The pacing ramps up just enough to keep you hooked, though the third act’s shift in energy might leave some listeners craving a tighter emotional throughline. Still, the audiobook’s charm lies in its unfiltered take on love under the microscope—where every touchy-feely moment comes with a side of tabloid skepticism.
