ARCS OPEN NOW!

Joining an ARC (Advance Reader Copy) sign-up event is such an exciting opportunity for book lovers like me who enjoy being one of the first to dive into captivating new stories. When I saw that Farrah Colson opened her ARC sign-ups unexpectedly, it felt like finding a hidden gem. What really caught my attention about this upcoming book is the unique combination of themes—plus-size MMC (male main character), the refreshing setting in Brescia, Italy, and the popular enemies-to-lovers fake dating trope. From personal experience, stories featuring a plus-size lead often bring much-needed representation and relatability, which makes reading an emotionally richer experience. The forced proximity aspect—being stuck in a single shared space—creates great tension and hilarious banter that keeps me hooked. Also, the setting in Italy introduces delightful cultural vibes, adding vivid imagery of Italian towns, cuisine, and ambiance that transports readers away from daily life. The mention of "slutty little sewing glasses" adds a quirky character trait that humanizes the characters and deepens the charm. It’s these small details that turn a good romance novel into a memorable one. Moreover, the playful nod to pigeons shows the author’s fun and whimsical writing style, making the story feel fresh and unique. I highly recommend keeping an eye on Farrah Colson’s Instagram for the ARC sign-up link if you love immersive, character-driven romance with a perfect blend of stress, comedy, and passion. Participating in ARCs not only gives you early access but also lets you contribute reviews that help new books reach more readers. The chance to read about a week-long fake dating arrangement in a scenic Italian backdrop sounds like the perfect summer read to me!
